You're in a game, but you don't know it.....

So, as you may know, my favorite board game in the entire world is The Road To The White House.  When I was back in my apartment, I would play it frequently, a few times a months, with Ag, Phoenix, and Johnnie...or sometimes more than one of them.  But since, as friendships do, the time I spent with them over the years as waned, and I stopped playing it.  

From the time I bought the house in September 2009, I had never played the game here.  Until last Fall. Ghostie had expressed an interest in playing it, and since I taught him, he and I have been getting together to play probably twice a month.  And earlier in the summer, at his request, I took the game up to VUBOQ's cabin and we played a game.  

Anyway, last year for Christmas, I thought of buying Ghostie the game. I originally, in 1991, paid $30 for it.  I found some place online that had the game, still in original wrapping, for, I think, $25.  So I got him one...and ordered myself one too.  They're not easy to find (or so I thought).

About ten days ago, I was wasting time online looking for spare cards for the game, when I came upon the guy on eBay, selling the game for $4.95 each!  Still in it's original wrapping!  Now the shipping was $9.90, but hell, that's still less than $15 bucks.  So, once more, I ordered two of them!  And they came in two days!

There they are!  I've already decided to give one to VUBOQ to keep at the cabin.  The other one?  Who knows?  I've still got another one upstairs from Christmastime that I haven't opened.  

But as I said, I THOUGHT they were difficult to get.  That's why I have so many.  Don't know if I'll need anymore at any point in the future, but I'd hope not!
