The Rabbit Hole
A total blast from the past–check out 5 classic commercials for beloved boardgames.
This commercial from 1989 features the infectious song I recall singing at the top of my longs anytime this game was refrenced in my childhood. Also in this commercial is a very young Danielle Harris.
Love the diagonal win–I’ve pulled that a few times myself. “Pretty sneaky, sis.”
This game fulfilled a strange fantasy for me as a child, since I love candy and was frequently denied it as a child. Just thinking about Gum Drop Mountain makes me salivate.
This was a game I never owned, but a friend of mine had it. She’d lost most of the white “marbles” that come with the game and we had to substitute with random marbles she stole from her brother. They were random sizes and usually got stuck inside. Great game though–helped us work out our pint-sized aggression.
Oh to be young and have things like finding a job, having money “maybe,” and having children just be a game. If only it were that easy.
