THE MOST COMMON COLLECTIBLE GAMES
by Bruce Whitehill
Some collectors specialize in certain common games, in an attempt to find all the titles in a series, or because they have a penchant for the theme or style of the game. And some versions of these titles might have superb graphics or unusual implements, and be of great interest. But, for the most part, common games are of less interest or value to the bulk of collectors. The titles of ubiquitous games made by many companies include:
ANAGRAMS AUTHORS BEANO
BINGO CHINESE CHECKERS DOCTOR BUSBY
FISH POND JACK STRAWS KENO
LOST HEIR LOTTO OLD MAID
PETER CODDLE PICK UP STICKS SNAP
TIC-TAC-TOE TIDDLEY WINKS
The common “proprietary” games–those published by a specific company–include FLINCH, MONOPOLY, PARCHEESI, PIT, ROOK, and TOURING.
