Good catch. Also, Risk and parcheesi. I addition to the original ancient game, there were dozens of games, like Trouble, that were nothing more than parcheesi with popup dice or some other minor modification.

Growing up one of three boys in a overwhelmingly baseball family, we'd pick two or three teams and play entire 162-game seasons of Strat-o-matic baseball.

We even bought the cards for classic teams, like the '27, '32, '39, and '61 Yankees, the '29 Philadelphia As, the '42 Cardinals, etc.

My younger brother has the newest computerized version of Strat-o-matic and plays the complete MLB season every year. When we get together at Thanksgiving, Christmas, or my parents' funerals, we play Strat-o-matic. It, and wiffle ball, are the two biggest links to our collective childhoods.
