Colditz

[Ricco]

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?

Man thats going back a years, I did used to have it, I can still picture the box cover, it probably ended up in a Scout jumble sale. I did enjoy that game though. Used to love Buckaroo too :)

[porshiepoo]

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. :(

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 :lol:

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.

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!!!:lol: :lol:

[Jeemag_USA]

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 :lol:

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 "EErarararreerraaarghyalittleaaghaggahgaghsoanso" :lol:

I'm always the winner too. :lol:

[Ricco]

Thank you all so much for your replies - very interesting how many people found it as frustrating as I did. I have seen some of the ones on ebay, etc. I would prefer my money to go to an orger but I shall look at the 'net ones if nothing turns up.

What a great site, and so cheap for the guided tour as well. Much better value than seeing yourself round some of Windsor Castle for £8-10! :confused

[Bobbyian]

And the Guided tour was very well done even in English, at the time I went it was only students but the knew there stuff.
