Alrightgames: Scooby-Doo! – The Maze of Mayhem!

Scooby-Doo! Board Game: The Maze of Mayhem!

2007 / Board game / 2-5 players / UK

More appealing to look at than actually play (we lasted about three rolls), this cheap charity shop rescue was mainly notable for evoking the distinctive disappointment-tinged nostalgia of Christmas Day circa 1992 (Home Alone: The Game, et al). I was going to express my satisfaction that licensed board games haven't moved on in that time, before calculating that 2007 was halfway from then to now, Jesus.

It's clearly too advanced for the toddler it was ostensibly bought for (if she'll ever be interested in trying), but it's something more colourful for her to fiddle with occasionally than Cluedo weapons and Star Trek chess. Update: No, she stuck with those.
