1. Well, that sure brought back some memories

I remember my parents giving me the 'Red Box' Starter set (I got another one a few years back since my original went the way of the dodo). They gave it to me right before we took a trip to Laredo to visit family.

I recall reading the books on the way down there and then trying to find someone to play with. It didn't work out since those that would have enjoyed it were too busy too, and the others like my grand mother and great aunts couldn't get the concept. It mainly had to do with the dice.

I heard a lot of 'These are the weirdest dice I've ever seen'.
To be honest I was surprised they even knew what 'regular' dice looked like since in the words of my father: "They didn't have dice in Laredo back then" (You con substitute anything in for dice, including things like books, dirt, roads...)


Thanks for posting the link, this was a fun trip back to my youth.
