I'm just an old guy, so I recall many of these - LOL. Thought it was interesting. Such things bring back good memories, mostly.
Growing up we played a lot of board games, and we had a couple that were my Dad's when he was growing up in the 50s and 60s. The only ones I remember off hand are the monopoly set (though it wasn't quite as old as the one in the article) and a game about the stock market (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3887/stock-market-game).
Cool, sounds like they dredged up a few memories.
Reminded me I should try to track them down in my parents house so they don't end up disappearing.
That you should ... sounds like your Dad is about my age. It's our time in life when we need to start letting go anyway - LOL
My grandmother had this basketball game at her house.
It was really cool.
Eventually we played it so much it wore out. They bought us a newer version, but it didn't play as good.
