From Parker Brothers, 1982’s “Knight Rider” is based after the hit show of the same name.

You'll earn bonus money every time you clear a Trouble Spot. But you can do so only while driving KITT. So be careful. Because each opponent will try to steal KITT, by winning a "Chicken Challenge" played with cards. You'll win the game, if you're the player to clear up the most Trouble Spots and earn the most bonus money.” We but it through a round or two (or more) to see how this game stacks up!

We’re Board is back, and we easy into our return with “The Flintstones” board game designed for ages 6-10. It’s a relatively simple “spin and move” game, but like most games - the fun is in what you make of the game.
