Game Show Home Game & Board Game Collection

A good friend and I spend our spare time collecting old board games, specifically game show home games. This is a video of our collection. We frequently visit random thrift shops, Salvation Armys, Savers, and many antique malls and shops to find our games. Sometimes we resort to eBay for particularly obscure things. The collection is a culmination of years of hard work and dedication.

Unlike most die-hard collectors, we only purchase games we enjoy playing, rather than buying just for rarity's sake. Even if we find a very old, rare game brand new, we will take apart all the parts, tear open the shrinkwrap, assemble it and actually play the game: games were meant to played with, not to be left as decoration pieces in a glass case.

We are currently up to 143 games total, with new games being added weekly, with about 120 left that we are actively searching for! Of course there are many others we would pick up in passing.

Just out of curiousity, do you also collect game show episodes on tape/dvd?

[halflip876]

I collect them here and there whenever I'm curious about seeing something, but not too frequently.

Wow, a very impressive collection of board games. It looks as if they are from the 1960's to maybe now, 2011. You also have the room to keep them stack organize and in good room temperature I hope. I wonder if you bring your collection to the Antiques Roadshow what would the appraisers give for value? I have game called Waterworks, is a card game from Parker Brothers, 1972, which I found in a cousin's basement in 1984-84 or so and I still have it. I have never seen anyone else owning one?

Nice game collection! You got me beat! Most of the games I found was @ thrift stores.

That first pievce of music was for the ticket plug for Hollywood's Talking (CBS 1973 Geoff Edwards).

@halflip876, that's cool that you have several different versions of each show's home game; to tell the truth(Pardon the pun) i have a PS2 and i've been thinking of getting different versions of various sports games so it's cool that people do that with game show games as well.
