Fantasy Break

For a kid who was as into Dungeons & Dragons as I was, you would think I would have had more fantasy board games. When I came upon this article on Retro Junk cataloging so many vintage fantasy board games, well, I admit I was filled with envy.

I did have Crossbows and Catapults.

It figures that when I finally fill one hole of my childhood, another would get torn wide open. Thanks, Retro Junk – I really needed something else to collect…
