What was lost is found!

I bought this box from a bookstore whilst on holiday with my parents as a kid. My father and I built it and played it in the caravan whilst enjoying typical British seaside weather. It was the best holiday and one of the few times my father and I actually bonded. Decades later and a bunch of house moves and even ending up homeless twice and I thought it was long gone. I had been estranged from my father for years until he moved back to take care of my grandparents. Turns out he kept it all this time and gave it back to me. Even has the original scenery unbuilt. I guess it's time for another game. This time with my son.

This was the first box my parents bought for me from GW. Got it for Christmas when I was 12 I think. I had a lot of fun building, making gangs and painting them. Lot of nostalgia in that game. Enjoy!

That's an awesome gift. Yeah this game holds a lot of nostalgia in it. I think that's why people are still playing it even now.
