There are many board games inspired by television shows and movies. In the 1970s, the TV show “Wonder Woman” captured the interest of layabout students and stay-at-home moms. The show’s popularity was so great that the BBC moved it to an after-school or pre-dinnertime time slot. Now, the beloved Australian soap opera has inspired a number of board games.
Some of the most popular board games are based on popular television shows. The “good ol’ boys” was one such game, which released in 1981. The game pitted players against each other in a race through Hazzard County. The goal was to evade your opponent by setting up roadblocks and bumping them off the track. This particular game received a rousing response from fans, and was a big hit during the holiday season.
In the 1980s, there was a huge increase in home video game consoles, including the Nintendo Entertainment System. This new technology made playing traditional board games more accessible, and a number of families started playing TV-based board games. As a result, board games centered on these popular shows became a popular holiday gift item. However, with so many options available, choosing a game can be challenging and rewarding.
