songburst 70s & 80s edition

another family game night favorite today ~

songburst, this is the 70s & 80s edition, there are others ~

half of toxic's brain is taken up by 70s song lyrics as she grew up with the stereo & 8 track tapes playing constantly at her house ~

play teams or play cutthroat, sing or just speak & try to remember the words to classic old songs ~

earn vinyl, gold & platinum albums with song lyrics & trivia questions ~

markers & albums ~

add up your albums once someone reaches the end of the gameboard & see who prevails ~

the cards ~

the songs ~

some easy & some obscure ~

70s & 80s ~

trivia ~

we have some home movie video of our family playing this game one xmas here ~

a very special post today in honor of our favorite author jrr tolkien, as old friends of mr dad's are visiting oxford & graciously placed my painted tolkienstone on his grave in remembrance of his life's works that we have all loved so much.. yeah, for all of us nerds <3 ~

so i have an entire category devoted to tolkien here at the lost & found toy blog ~

as i discovered his books as a child long ago & read them all ~

& of course never missed the animated films that came on every year ~

& naturally passed it on to our son who became a huge fan too ~

there's not a film we've not collected & seen in full commentary form ~

not a game we haven't played to the end ~

all those collector cards ~

we'll never forget all the times going to the theater for the movies over & over ~

i once posted a month of tolkien time posts here at the lost & found ~

featuring all the books, games & collectibles we've collected over a lifetime ~

cool figures ~

& as a taphophile who loves to photo old cemeteries & epitaphs i added the photo to the very end of my extensive cemeteria album too ~

kinda makes me want to venture back into middle earth again ;) ~

& visit with old friends ~

you can check out all the tolkien videogames as well up at our game gallery playlist on youtube here ~

cool old vinyl for your vintage inner kid ~

& be sure to click on tolkien in the category list in the sidebar for much more ~

& thanks so much to robert & jeb :) ~
