I played an old board game called Colditz over Christmas. Thought it was brilliant. It isn't made any more so I got to wondering if anyone had a copy that was in good nick?

Liked the game but liked the Colditz TV series even more.
Was it called 'Escape from Colditz'? We had a board game somehting akin to that a few years ago. We only layed it the once and although we thought it was great, we don't seem to have kept it.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.

If only everything thing in life was as reliable as a Mini..!!!
Colditz, oh! the memories. I was stationed in Malta from ’75 to ’78 as a mercenary (see ‘execution this weekend thread). It was tradition in the forces that Wednesday afternoon was given as time off for sport. Our idea of sport was two bottles of Marsovin red table wine, it was good stuff 15 pence a bottle, and a game of good old Colditz.
We never did finish a game, it usually descended into a drunken argument. One other very popular game was ‘Risk.’ If memory serves me it was a game where everybody secretly ganged up on one player and annihilated him. Happy days.
Stop it my sides are sore
I seem to remember the year I had it, there was a pic of a sentry house on the cover with red, black and white stripes on it, and a pic of the valley and the castle on a hill above. I am not sure, some years they made different covers like they did with Risk. I used to love Risk too, awesome game.
I used to love the game "Battleships" and played it lots when the kids were at home, still have it.
Giong off the subject of Coditz but staying with board games, has anyone ever played 'Uckers?' It's the Navy's verion of ludo.
Na normal ludo for me North Rhins,was never in the navy suffered fae bad seasickness.Did used to play a game called "Wigtownshire Mercenaries" though thats when a group o' Ayrshire lads used to travel through to the Riverside Nightclub in Newton Stewart and drink and dance to rave music till the early hours.........ahhhhhhhh memories!!!
I seem to remember my brother mentioning Uckers, he was in the Navy but I can't remember it.
I used to love Kerplunk too, and Jack Straws, Mousetrap, Buckaroo, Noply, Risk, and what was the name of that funny Ludo type one with the patented pop-o-matic dice thing, that was hilarious, I can vividly remember the noise that thing used to make like da-doing. Then Pong came along and the world went to pot
HA HA thats it, Frustration, it used to frustrate the heck out of me when I was 4 because I was such a lightweight I had to put my whole body on it to get it to pop without breaking mywrists

I used to always call the pieces barrels cause they looked like beer barrels, and I had to be green all the time. I used to hide it behind the couch and when my dad came home from the pub and fell asleep, I would go POP POP POP POP POP and run up e stairs to the sound of him going "EErarararreerraaarghyalittleaaghaggahgaghsoan so"
Know what yer both on about,got addicted to Frustration.Better no speak anymore cos my right eyelid is starting to flicker.
