The Forgotten Games: Bowl-O-Rama

Posted on by

I have an older edition of this game, the newer one appears to come with more bowlers (32 vs 16 in mine) and a bunch of nicer chart boards (as compared to all the charts in the rulebook in mine).

I’m going to give this one a spin for a couple of sessions, if I like playing it enough, I may upgrade to the newer set, and maybe pick up the playmat.

Or maybe just get the playmat.

Stay tuned!

I picked up a couple more items from the PLAAY.com Holiday sale:

  • Fury Football (concept game)
  • Tropical Tour courses for History Maker Golf
  • 1980 Pro Season for Bowl-O-Rama

I’ve played exactly one game of Bowl-O-Rama.  It’s fun, I just don’t pull it off the shelf when I have other replays to run.  Maybe an actual season, with a schedule, will get me to play this one more.

I should set up a golf tournament tour, maybe 10 courses?

Fury Football was developed around the same time as the game that became GridZone, as a quicker play football simulation.  It’s designed to be a quick play ‘concept game’, much like 1890s Fight Club from last year.

Stay tuned!
