Guess Who? Extra… Some Additional Cards

Guess Who? Extra

More Guess Who Extra

I noticed my previous Guess Who Extra post is getting a fair amount of hits. Assuming you're getting some use out of those cards I decided to make a few more.

Frogger the board game

Frogger is a very well-known video game from the Golden Age of arcade.

This is a 1982 Milton Bradley (MB) Games attempt to translate that arcade game into a more traditional style board game. The game…
