I actually did forget about Scotland Yard, and I loved that game. I also loved 221B Baker Street

My kids have the modern version. It sucks. They've neutered it.

Anyway, By Jove is the consensus All-American undisputed champion GOAT board game of all time

Here's the worst: Buckshot, a/k/a Buckshit

Air hockey without the air - the plastic "board" was so light it would move all over the place as you tried to play. Supposed to be the "world's fastest board game" when in fact it was the "world's worst board game."

when i saw you created this thread and it was about "vintage" board games, I was expecting something more along the lines of drawing tic-tac-toe in the dirt or some type of shooting marbles with rocks.

broke this game didn't come out til you were well into your 40's

Unique in 1965 for having both black and white characters.

I'm not sure if this is considered a board game, but I loved Perfection. I don't know if I could play it now for the fear of invoking a heart attack.
