Oh Help!
It's my own fault, I know, but it really gets my goat when you buy a game from a charity shop or jumble sale and when you get it home you find that it hasn't got the rules sheet included!
I've always found that car boot sales, jumble sales, school fetes and charity shops are the best place to buy games for the family, especially at this time of the year. Most are old favourites that I used to play as a kid like Cluedo, Scrabble or Monopoly, but you occasionally come across some strange gems such as the Treasure Hunt Game (remember Anneka Rice?!) or the add on boxes for that die hard favourite Trival Pursuit. But why oh why can't people, when kindly donating, remember to either find the rules or hand write some out. Even the ones that they have being playing by is better than none at all.
So now, I am the proud owner of Dingbats, but without knowing how we're supposed to play it (it's for my husband and I, a bit of fun when the boys are at last in bed). Perhaps I'll look through my old ganes and start making a note of the rules. You never know when someone might need them.
