Forbidden Bridge


Submitted by Dalton H, who could never quite get across the bridge

From Wikipedia:

Forbidden Bridge is a board game which simulates being a treasure hunter. Players play as explorers who are after ancient jewels, which are guarded by an angry spirit. Occasionally, the bridge guard will awaken and (via a motorized mechanism powered by the player pushing his head down) shake the bridge, which can cause players’ pieces to fall off. Players also can get the chance to “steal” another player’s jewel. The first player to retrieve three jewels and return them all in their boat wins.

The Little Mouse, The Red-Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear


Submitted by Annabeth, who has a soft spot for children’s books

I don’t know if this is common enough to be recognized, but I loved it so much I taught myself to read it when I was 5 because my parents wouldn’t read it to me any more. I loved it to death, especially the different ways the mouse tried to hide the strawberry.
