Nostalgia 2005

From the Cheatwell Games webpage:

"It's a blast from the past; a game of fads, fashions and fun that will take you on a reminiscent ramble through some of the more memorable moments of the last few decades. Great entertainment for young and old alike!"

Basically, each player answers a set of questions from cards relating to nostalgia in the UK: 1960s; 1970s; 1980s; TV and Film; Fads and Fashions; and then a catch-all subject Nostalgia Grab-Bag (or something like that, anyway). The answers for the cards are in the rules booklet and everyone checks their score at the end, like a pub quiz. And, like a pub quiz, many of the questions are deeply obscure, unless you have a remarkable knowledge of (and any interest whatsoever in) football, soap operas and sitcoms.

From the publisher:

This reminiscent ramble through the momentous events of the Twentieth Century is a game of fads and fashions...... a timely document of the good, the bad, the funny and the frivolous!!! From Mods to Punk Rockers; Hammer Horrors to Block Busters; historical events to hysterical clothes, you'll face questions on the weird and the wonderful from those now distant decades of The Sixties, The Seventies and The Eighties. Bobbing ogs, feely-boppers and flares all make their claim in the "momentary Madness" Hall Of Fame......Whilst the prize for "Pointless Pets" is a close-run contest between Pet Logs, Pet Rocks, stick on Garfields and Cabbage Patch Dolls!!! It's time to pull up those plastic chairs, light the lava lamps, crack open a Party Seven, pull on your pumps and take a memory-jigging jog through the dusty depths of your collective memories!!!
