Board games BOARD GAMES

Philately

This is - amazingly - is a stamp collecting board game! And more amazingly - I loved this game when I was a child!

Admittedly, it's a lot like monopoly, and I loved monopoly as well.

Everyone had to complete their collection of stamps. You had to go round the board collecting money , and playing the life of a stamp collector. Doesn't souind interesting does it! In fact it sounds quite dull, but it wasn't!

There were 4 sets of 40 different stamps plus 10 spares. Players roll the die and move around the complex track, buying, selling, swapping, collecting, inheriting stamps or gaining cash.

You display your set in an album as you go!

    Never heard of it up until now, BUT I'm glad I have as I'm an avid stamp collector myself, and it sounds right up my alley! I'll see if I can scrounge one on eBay.
