If You Have a DOT, Expose It

Usually I stay away from thrift stores for a couple of reasons.

#1- I rarely find anything worth having.

#2- I usually leave slathering my hands with sanitizer and feeling like I have lice in my hair (psychological, I know).

My last visit to the thrift store proved satisfactory, however. I found the vintage game Probe.

In the 1980's, Don and I use to play this game at my aunt and uncle's house.



We've often wanted to play it again, but somewhere along the line, Parker Brothers stopped manufacturing it.

Probe is a great word game, kind of like Hang Man meets Scrabble. Each person chooses a secret word and writes it in their word tray.


Players then draw cards and follows the instructions given. Here are three examples...



Everyone tries to guess each other's words, accumulating points as one letter after another is exposed.

 

This particular game is in excellent condition. It even came with plenty of the original paper inserts.


Have any of you ever found hella good deals at a thrift store?
