Dark Tower Unboxing | First Time Playing in Decades!
After years of searching, we finally got our hands on a coveted vintage 80s treasure… DARK TOWER! This amazing strategy game was only produced for one year back in 1981. We both grew up playing and LOVING IT until it disappeared from store shelves and eventually became extinct. Tonight we’ll be setting up the board, firing up the old tower, and playing for the first time since 1980-something. Get ready for an exciting and nostalgic game night!

I played this as a kid. So when Restoration Games remade it I had to get it.

Great memories of playing this game with Keith. I'm glad you found one. It was also great getting to play with Keith again after the unboxing! I look forward to playing with you both.

This game is so cool, especially for the time it was sold. Pretty ahead of its time.
That sucks about the lawsuit, though, for the original guys not Milton Bradley. I was going to ask if MB tried suing Stephen King (his Dark Tower series started in 1982), only to find out they were the ones who got sued. 🤦🏻♂️
