Freudian Friday: The Ouija Board Alternative

Need answers to life's big questions? Are you searching for that special someone but don't know where to look? Don't go messing with Ouija boards to find the answer! Evil spirits are dangerous and want to eat your soul, and besides, Satan is the Prince of All Lies people! What makes you think he'll be telling you the truth about your future? And, it seems like whenever people play with Ouija boards someone's little brother always dies or something. Don't go messing with devils, use science! Because science never hurt anyone, right?

So cool!

Yet another amazing board game find! Kreskin's ESP circa 1967. I picked this puppy up for just $1 at a garage sale! This game caught my eye right away. Just look at the guy on the cover! It's like he hypnotized me into buying this awesome game, though that wouldn't be at all necessary! 

Whoa!

Trippy as heck! I love it!

The cards totally remind me of that scene from Ghostbusters.

Am I doing this right?

Look at all this!


As I opened the box I just kept finding more and more stuff like game cards, instructions, score cards, the main board, and game cards for travel, LOVE, Finance, and career!

Here's how the pendulum works.

I still can't get it to work for me.

So the main idea of the game is to utilize your natural ESP (Extra Sensory Perception) in order to answer those burning questions in your life. I don't know if you can really "win".

The 4 areas of testing.



I haven't had a chance to test this out with a group yet, so I have yet to combine my brain waves with others. With this and the Goosebumps Game (and yet another game I have yet to blog about soon) we're gearin' up for one heck of a game night!

Do you believe in ESP? Or is it all just a bunch of pseudoscience?

  2. The game looks so clean - like it was never played. Or maybe that's just the spirits making it look like that! Muhhaaaaaa!

    1. Oh man, that would be just me luck, wouldn't it. LOL!

      It was rather strange, the old woman who sold it to me said she bought copies for all her kids and they loved the game so much and this was the last one left. Well, if they loved the game so dang much then why are they selling it?

    1. Oh yeah!? What do you remember? Does it really work, or is it pretty bogus?

    2. Well, I think it being bogus is a given! :)

    3. Haha, well played! I for one am a skeptic. Maybe in 1,000 years we'll discover telepathy, clairvoyance, and telekinesis.

    4. Yeah, I don't buy into it all. Good for fiction and fun, but if it was real it wouldn't be so damned hard to come by! :)

    1. I know, I love old board games! My dad has a 50s version of Battle Ship, it's pretty sweet.

      I really wanna get together and play this and Goosebumps on Halloween or something. I love your old Candy Land find by the way, pretty nifty!

      Thanks for stopping by sister!
