Come Out To Socialize

 Well, I have run out of vintage Disneyland games, but a comment from Melissa reminded me that I'm not quite finished. You see, she suggested a Disneyland version of Clue (which I think is brilliant). Now even though that might not exist, I do have this Clue...

Yes, the tin box version of Haunted Mansion Clue! I have had it for quite a while and have played it many times. Still, I thought you might not have seen it in any detail (and I needed a subject for a post), so here goes!

Each side of the tin has a different character. Of course we start with the Big Cheese...

Next we have the Bride. Notice that this is NOT the silly Constance who has now rudely invaded the Mansion. This is our beloved Beating Heart Bride.

Minnie is hanging out on the side opposite of Mickey.

And the Mariner is opposite the Bride.

The bottom of the tin shows the board and game pieces.

Haunted Mansion appropriate instructions

The back of the instructions features these disreputable fellows.

Here is the actual game board. It is double fold type (folds into 1/4 its size) that I really don't care for. The board never really wants to stay completely flat. Still, it has nice graphics and its kind of neat to see how they used the actual Mansion areas.

The tin has a double tray. This is the top tray.

And this is the bottom tray...

This is a very quick setup of my board. I like how the solution is held in a "Madame Leora's Reading" folder. I suppose this is as good a time as any to point out that in this version, there is no murder (except possibly in the dark pasts of the ghosts). You are trying to figure out which ghost scared who in what room. That's not really as fun as solving a murder, in my opinion, but it will have to do.

These are examples of the game cards.

And these are the tokens. They are made of metal, and are what I consider to be "sorta 3D." They are very thin, but have fronts and backs with slightly raised details.

Ah, yes...the ghosts! As you can see, we have the Opera Singer, the Mariner, the Bride, and the three Hitchhiking Ghosts. They are supposed to glow in the dark, but they only barely do. 

Game play is pretty fun, mainly because you can pretend that you are walking around the Mansion. This game is still being produced (I think) so getting one isn't difficult at all! There is also a Haunted Mansion Game of Life (which I find ironic), but I don't have it and have never seriously looked at it, so I can't speak to how good it is.

Well, there you go. I think I've gone through ALL of my Disneyland and Walt Disney World games! I think I'll lay off of board games for a while, although in September or so, I might start a new series of spoooooooky games! I have a ton!

Until next time, keep searching for treasure!
