MAHS-- Part 6: Even More Board Games

McHenry Area Historical Society.

And, Pat Wirtz had even more board games on display.  I am writing down just some of the games he had with him.

The Puritan Game of My Wife and I (from 1888)

Fibber McGee & Molly (from the mid 1930s to mid-1950s)

Lindy  (Based on Charles Lindbergh's famous flight.

Touring  (started in 1906)

Steve Canyon  (based on a comic strip)

Flying Aces  (1946)

The most money he ever spent was $125 for the German WW II game.  (Or, at least that is what he said since his wife was there.  But, he said his wife knows  everything about his purchases.)

He also has some 40 shoe boxes full of postcards and a complete run of Life Magazine from 1932 to 1945 as he focuses on the World War II era.

He Sure Knows His Board Games.  --CootBoard
