Glad to help!
I see you loved it as much as I did. A group of us bought it & played it, then stupidly let one of the group take across state lines to a friends house, where he lost it!!! We were VERY displeased, but by then the game was no longer available!!!!

When I accidentally found this a few months ago I was like "NO WAY!!!!"

Ah Darktower, I remember it fondly...except for those damn brigands, and the thief, and the plague.

A couple other favorites for me were Stratego and Mastermind.

In the Seventies we had a "smash up Derby". It came with cars that had pieces on them that would fall off when they smashed into each other. we had the version that came with a ramp and a loop....hours of fun I managed to find a set in an op shop for the afterschool care I ran 5 years ago...the kids loved it, but it got trashed fast due to how many of them played with it. I wish toy manufacturers would make versions of toys designed to be played with by big groups of kids.I also still have love and use my Knit Magic. I used to have some Star Wars action figures and a c3po mask I loved but they mysteriously disappeared when we moved house...my mum later admitted she threw them away as she wanted me to be more like other girls...ironic considering she bought me my first Ghost Rider Comic.

I also Love Zoobs. It's a construction/creation toy with a variety of snap together parts kids can create amazing things with. I give zoob sets to all of my friends kids: it helps to mainatin my favourite Aunty status

Because you mention Clue, I wonder if you have tried 221 Baker St yet? It is the advanced version of Clue. Most Clue fans love it.

I've played 221 Baker Street (isn't there a "B" in there somewhere?), without realizing it was considered an advanced version of Clue. I prefer the original; it's still one of my favourite game-night games.
