@@11Survivor Back in the 70's there was actually a game of this kind. Kind of a more direct game of Risk, where you blew up other people's cities. It's the only time I've ever asked, "Do you have change for ten million people?"
You're actually close: The wargame "The Next War" does include optional rules for the use of nuclear weapons. The rule for strategic nukes is "soak the map in lighter fluid and apply a lit match."
The sims is not a board game. I imagine it would take quite some programming expertise to haunt a digital gamesave, and not many people with that skill set have so far died. Perhaps in the future, hauntings of such games will become more common ;)
Shame the murder trial jury didn't use Cluedo, the defendant could have gotten off because the victim told the jury the killer was Col. Mustard, in the library, with the lead pipe.
Excuse me, there *was* a film of mousetrap. It was called Mousehunt. Nathan Lane and Lee Evans with a side of Christopher Walken. I loved it and its slapstick comedy but it recieved mediocre reviews from most.
Ouija board used to figure out if the guy was guilty -> The jury subconsciously agreed he was guilty and it came out on the Ouija board -> The guy was retried by a different jury and ultimately found guilty That makes sense
Is everyone just going to ignore that right at the end Stephen that " if they didn't like it they could just to hell" referring to the kids who go it as presents 😂😂
I would classify a Ouija Board as more of an old time "party game" than a board game. Either way, I clearly recall advertisements for it in the early 90's, so it seems The Exorcist didn't completely kill off interest.
Party games using a board are a board game, most board games can be party games. No one said it was ever killed off, they popularity dropped off. Compare the popularity of Ouija and Monopoly today, then consider that Ouija used to be as popular Monopoly is now. Fuck I have three Monopoly sets I think and I don't even like Monopoly anymore, one of the lamest board games, if you look at all the other cool ones out there.
We played with one at a birthday party when I was in middle school in the mid-'90s. By we, I don't mean me so much as the birthday girl and a few other people. I was convinced that the Ouija board was satanic.
The court case was R v Young (Stephen) (Citation: [1995] QB 324; [1995] 2 WLR 430). However, the jury was not dismissed by the judge as stated in the clip. It was some weeks later that the revelation was published in the News of the World that some of the jurors had employed a makeshift ouija board made of a piece of paper and a wine glass. It was subsequently brought before the Court of Appeal (see citation) where the appeal was allowed and a retrial was ordered. In other related 'games and juries' examples, a jury in a 2008 Australian case was dismissed as some of the jurors had been distracting themselves from a long trial by playing sudoku in the jury box [Citation: R v Lonsdale and Holland (District Court of NSW, Judge Zahra, June 2008)]. It may be surprising for the public to hear of juries conducting themselves in such a manner, but in these instances the media coverage was the unusual factor in that the majority of jury misconduct cases are not reported in the press.
I would assume that the majority of jury misconduct cases are not reported anywhere or noticed even. The number of court cases that are dismissed on appeal because the judge gave the jurors improper instructions is kind of staggering, you assume a fucking judge knows how to do his job properly.
However successful The Exorcist became, that was a bit unfortunate for Parker Bros! "Great idea for a film -- let's involve a ouija board, they're popular right now" Film makes megabucks, ouija board sales tank...
Before I watched this clip, I imagined the game to be Dungeons & Dragons. Haven't had a fiery lake of sulphur happen to me just yet, but there's no rules that say you can't do it for fun lol
There was an underground ghost boxing club and people would bet on it but they rioted because 2 days into the fight it was announced that it was a fight to the death.
There was a game which I unfortunately cant recall the name of, but it was a warfare strategy game where you played world war 3 using a large paper map (presumably of Europe) and moved your armies using paper markers. And it had the rule that stated: "to simulate use of nuclear weapons, soak map with lighter fluid and apply a lit match" It might seem a bit tongue in cheek, but I honestly can't think of a better way to show to a player how bad the idea of using nuclear weapons are in conventional warfare as it basically just an act of "I'm tired of this game and don't want to play it anymore"
Kind of. But you can say yes I'm faster than you or more stamina or simply hid for long enough where you don't need definitive ending to it. PLUS there are direct objectives (or well in this case kind of 1 objective for running and another for chasing). So in a way unlike WE-HA = Ouija, you have some sort of objective to achieve.
That's interesting. I wonder how long the longest game of tag is? This could be a great fund raising challenge. The Longest Ever Game Of Tag. Or, The Great Tag Challenge. One person gets filmed tagging someone, they have to then go off and film themselves tagging someone else. You could get celebrities tagging each other. Just an idea. ; )
The important distinction between Jumanji and Tag is not whether you can win but whether you can directly interfere with other players. You _can_ win a race, but racing is still not a game. Games are not merely competitive, but they also allow players to interact with each other. To win a game of basketball or poker or Quake, I have to interact directly with my opponents by blocking their shots, calling their bluffs, or killing them before they kill me. Even single-player games like solitaire or Super Mario Bros. require you to compete against an artificial intelligence (the deck or the cartridge). Not only does Ouija not allow one to compete against his or her opponents, it doesn't even include the notion of opponents at all. It is not even a competition. It is merely a toy like a doll or a top.
Hasbro bought Parker Brothers, and with it the Ouija board trademark, in 1991. As a company, they were fully absorbed a few years later. As a brand division of Hasbro, they ended in 2009 - about the time of Series G here.
The game is used in the TV series Breaking Bad, when Tuco's cousins talk with Hector Salamanca in the nursing home. It was on the shelf in the day room, why the old folks play it who knows!
Heh? Film in 72? The film The Exorcist came out in December 1973. The book came out in 71. Facts are difficult. Where is the “ahogaah” klaxon for the host?
Oh god, there's always one tiresome bore like you who thinks they're a gatekeeper to what's funny and what isn't. Nobody gives a fuck about your miserable opinion. Fuck off and watch some Benny Hill reruns or something.
There's a board game that both starts and ends in fire, as the idea is to rescue as many people from a burning building as possible before the fire kills all the fire rescue team. Ah, somebody before me mentioned it. Flashpoint, Fire Rescue.
Well, there are two philosophies to boardgames, and the traditional dominant one has been to win by knocking opponents out of the game. German (at least the board game geeks I know attribute it to the Germans) game design theory centres around everyone playing and having fun until the end. Monopoly, where you eliminate players 1 by 1 versus Trouble/Frustration where even on the last round everyone has a turn. Trouble was invented by a pair of Czech brothers who fled to New York in WW2, the Kohner Brothers. Games like that have become more popular in the last 30 years, I doubt Alan or Stephen have played many board games in that time.
In the Philippines, we have a board game that does end in fire, if you lose. It’s called “Sungka”. If u wanna know what it looks like, look it up. Basically you have shells, and you got to take all of it until theres nothing left, and the loser will have his house burnt down. Not sure if I got that right, it’s from my ancestors.
The puck can be controlled by any player or players who desire to. I made a board and puck for a wine laced dinner party. The first message came out spell backwards. Very creepy. The final came out as my name. That thought my friends how easy it is to do magic.
When I was in psych ward us patients made ouija boards to pass the time. When the staff found out they were angry and banned ouija boards. I never understood why the staff were so angered by a game. Does anyone have an idea why they reacted that way?
two possible options (ok three) first, given that the board was to open up the hidden self, a psych ward full of psychiatrists whose job it is to do that would be angry about it, who wants the sick to heal thyselves? Secondly, someone was a fundamentalist Christian and got angry because the bible said they should, but thirdly and I think this is more the case, letting the institutionalised have freedom causes anger and anxiety in some since they believe that makes them hard to handle. Mostly I'd go with two and a side order of three. There are always people in charge who can't deal with the different, and after all, psych ward patients are (supposedly) as different from the norm as you can get. Hope you are doing well enough to have left and try your hand at some self reflection on a new board of your own making.
@@ValeriePallaoro Thank you for your response, much love. I have left psych ward. What exactly are they afraid of? I feel like there’s something I’m missing. I think I will try the board. I am aware I am weird but earth I feel is weirder. I wish you happiness 💚
My grandfather was in a Turkish prisoner of war camp where some of his fellow prisoners used a ouija board to fool the guards and escape. The story is told in a book called The road to Endor.

LOL'd out loud at the Elvis email thing. He died before the internet (1989), but after ARPANET (The (1971 was the first ''message'' sent, 1975 it became operational) he wasn't a secret government operative was he? :p Hmm, gives the whole ghostwriter in the sky thing a new twist (A popular fantasy novel genre by Piers Anthony, 48 very popular novels in the series so far) thought it's a take off of Johnny Cash and his ''Ghost Riders in the Sky'' hit I think?.
If I'm a conspiracy theorist, and I'm trying to convince people my theory is true, I'm going with "Elvis is alive" over "Elvis is a ghost" ten times out of ten.
We used to play this as a family game at Christmas back in the 60s. We used Lexicon cards arranged in a circle and an upturned glass. It was always played as a mock seance, not contacting our inner selves as QI would have it.
Not QI would have, back in the 60s is 70 years after it was introduced and it was on it's third company at that point, none of the companies could agree with where the name came from or who invented it or basic marketing. QI is not telling you how to play the game, they are telling you when it was made it was not for the purpose of a seance. They also mention that it was used for a seance during the war.
A game do not have to be competitive, there need not be any winner or loser just an entertaining time with some ludological element (see for example roleplaying game who uses the ludological to inspire a play on narrative). Also, monopoly is half a educational tool and was not ment as a means of entertainment but as an education on the dangers of monopoly, see the Landlord's game.

There have been a couple films named "Mousetrap", but the first was from 2010, so it may not have been released when this was filmed.
Always loved that movie. I've never liked slapstick much, but the cast chemistry and direction was amazing. Not to mention the soundtrack.
I don't think Mousehunt was based on the game Mousetrap in the slightest.
@@jim191185 the author of the books that Mousehunt was based on has said that they were inspired by, amongst other things, the boardgame Mousetrap.

Fair enough. But apart from the mouse, I don't remember any similarities in the film. Been a long time though.

He died before the internet (1989), but after ARPANET (The (1971 was the first ''message'' sent, 1975 it became operational) he wasn't a secret government operative was he? :p Hmm, gives the whole ghostwriter in the sky thing a new twist (A popular fantasy novel genre by Piers Anthony, 48 very popular novels in the series so far) thought it's a take off of Johnny Cash and his ''Ghost Riders in the Sky'' hit I think?.
Not monopoly, that game only ends when hell freezes over
Look up "automatic writing" it is a true psychological phenomenon.
If I'm a conspiracy theorist, and I'm trying to convince people my theory is true, I'm going with "Elvis is alive" over "Elvis is a ghost" ten times out of ten.
So what was the answer?
We used to play this as a family game at Christmas back in the 60s. We used Lexicon cards arranged in a circle and an upturned glass. It was always played as a mock seance, not contacting our inner selves as QI would have it.
Not QI would have, back in the 60s is 70 years after it was introduced and it was on it's third company at that point, none of the companies could agree with where the name came from or who invented it or basic marketing. QI is not telling you how to play the game, they are telling you when it was made it was not for the purpose of a seance. They also mention that it was used for a seance during the war.

“There is no film of Mousetrap”
Not of the board game, true.

I'm not sure how ghost boxing is supposed to work. Wouldn't the punches just pass straight through the other ghost?

Ghost boxing! That's the spirit!
I’m pretty sure I’ve played a game or two of Monopoly that ended in people being thrown in a burning sulfur pit.

The Exorcist was released in 1973, not '72.
Mr. W In all countries on the same date?
Trivial Pursuit! Because Dad has memorized all the questions and answers and we’re tempted to burn the board and the cards
Monopoly should end in everyone being thrown into fire. Not the pieces, the players.
2:49 Alan’s laugh kills me every time
THERE IS A FILM ABOUT MOUSETRAP
0:02 - 0:08 - The game of life??
A game do not have to be competitive, there need not be any winner or loser just an entertaining time with some ludological element (see for example roleplaying game who uses the ludological to inspire a play on narrative). Also, monopoly is half a educational tool and was not ment as a means of entertainment but as an education on the dangers of monopoly, see the Landlord's game.
