Back in the 70s as kids we played a board game and I want to identify it. Here is what I remember. And by the way, it's not The Game of Life.

We played it as my cousins' place. They're a military family who were stationed in England in the late 50s and early 60s so the game could be British in origin.

Roll one die, move along a path and be the first to reach the end. From what I remember, that is the purpose of the game. I don't think money was involved and I can't remember if players draw cards.

What makes this game interesting is the "mountain" (in the middle of the square board) which rotates 60 degrees, I think every time a six is rolled. The mountain has three pathways over it which affect the path the players follow.

I've searched the internet and have found nothing. If I knew the name of the game then I could find more about it, like a photo or even the manufacturer. It's hard to search for something I don't know the name of.

Heard of this game? Know what I'm talking about?

  1. Talisman???


  2. Is it Sry, or agrvation. I have almost no clue.

  3. Hmmm, I did a cursory search on what I could think of, but the two games that feature prominent mountains that I know of are not what you are looking for. (From your description, it's not King of the Hill or Oh What a Mountain)

    I would suggest that you pose the question to the community over at BoardGameGeek.com.  Thousands of users daily go through the website, and they are pretty good about identifying games.  With ~34,000 games and expansions listed so far in the database, it's likely that what you are looking for already has an entry there.  Check it out at http://www.BoardGameGeek.com
