Oooh the Deluxe edition. Aren’t we posh. When I was a kid all we got was the score pads, a cheap blue cup and the dice.

Ha! We just bought extra score pads and a set of dice … and used juice cups or something. We thought we were being smart, buying a game for cheap.

Of course I doubt the actual price of the game was much more than these components.

I’m amazed Rope wasn’t more popular in the Clue question, as it stands out from the other items by being made of white plastic rather than metal. Similarly, I was surprised that Geography wasn’t a more popular answer for the Trivial Pursuit category, as it’s the one on top.
