Well it will Not be quite what he wanted but as close as I could get with my limited financial resources...
Stacey really wanted this piece of his early childhood
|
the "Tree" was one of my favorite toys as a small child ...and My "Ghost Family" |
So on E-Bay... we found ( at a very low price the Three "doors" and the Three 'stand-up" pieces ( the Tree, shown above... the Haunted House and the Shipwreck) ..... Maybe he can make a copy of this game...
From this image of the game board , we should be able to make him one ...then add the newly acquired pieces.... Thus an attempt to give Stacey something to lift his spirits...
The "Ghost Spinner" is well out of our price range... and the complete game runs about $200.oo...

Somewhere around here there are a few of these little "ghosts" from the game he owned as a child....
Do Not remember the purpose of the "ghosts"... the boxes beneath the game board (Each covered by one of the three doors ... they contained :.... "Bat Feathers" , Bones.. ( small black plastic pieces).. and the "Pit of Snakes(Lengths of rubber bands) and after you open the door you reach into the darkness of the hole... creepy in the dark to a small child... |
This is an image of the re-release of this great game (It is Not any less expensive than an Original)
When you have a "limited" budget... (Next to Nothing...cash-wise)... You just have to "Make Do" and get "creative"...
