Our “Pick” this week is another fun vintage board game. Solarquest is a space-age real estate game from 1986. Why play monopoly and settle for Atlantic City when you can buy up the entire solar system? Survive the perils of space travel and build the greatest financial empire.
With the summer season getting shorter and shorter I thought I would highlight a fun and interesting game with a summertime theme. It’s Regatta a sailing game made by 3M back in 1967. The object of the game is to race around the island course of your choosing while dealing with winds and your competitors. This is a well thought out game with cool metal pieces that will delight any sailing enthusiast.
This week we have another hard to find record. It is the soundtrack album from the 1956 film Alexander the Great staring the great Richard Burton. This powerful score was directed by Mario Nascimbene. Soundtrack albums are a great collectable and early ones are extremely hard to find in good condition.
