Help Me, My Aquatic Friends
Apr. 18th, 2006 04:21 pmCalling on the LazyWeb here: Does anybody remember a board game, I think it was called "Disaster!", in which the board had four disaster areasan earthquake, a burning building, a crashing airplane, a sinking shipand you went around the board trying to escape each disaster in turn while trapping your opponents therein? We had this game when I was a kid, and I loved it. The plastic pawns were excellent. I think they were (understandably) nervous-looking little hunchbacks. I went Googling for images of this game to illustrate a post over at Old is the New New about the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake (today's the 100th anniversary) but I can't find it anywhere. Anyone? Bueller?
Edit: Well, that didn't take long.

Man, does that bring back memories. I'd forgotten it was bilingual. Tremblement de terre! Ecrassement! Fire, fire, incendie! "Sunk... Naufrage!" sounds like it oughta be a leet-speak putdown, like own3d. Thanks, guys.
