One thing that spans across generations is our love for board games. No matter what year it is, no matter how old you are, we all enjoy a good board game. It’s a great way for the family to get together and spend some quality time–that is, until someone starts taking the game too far and dishes start flying off the table. Here are 20 beloved board games that have been around since the 1970s and make us want to run to the attic and look for them.
#1: Hungry Hungry Hippos (1978)
Hungry Hungry Hippos is a Hasbro board game featuring four “hungry” hippos that are each controlled by one player, while their goal is to eat more marbles than the other players. It’s been a classic children’s game since the 70s that is hailed for its simplicity. Did you know the four hippopotamus each have a name? The pink one is Happy Hippo, the orange is Henry Hippo, the green is Homer Hippo, and the yellow is Harry Hippo.
