I figured this would go better here than in the board games section! It's a new board game where you identify cars....

Wouldn't be able to find anyone to play with me...

Same here. Great idea, though.

I would loose for sure as I only know NA cars and very little about anything past the early 1970's. I know absolutely nothing about cars from other countries unless they were sold in Canada. Fodens, Bedford, Commers and ever Holdens I had never heard of before joining TC and has certainly never seen one/ Not even on TV. Count me out.

It appears the game is American.

Lets test your knowledge a bit... There was a a Swiss car called Glas that used a BMW engine. True or False.

False


According to my encyclopedia Glas was German, used their own engines until 1966 when they were bought by BMW


They also made Goggomobile

I've emailed a couple of mates to try and set up a play date  

Some more information about BMW had takeover of the Glas firm and factor situated at Dingolfing in 1966 was the patent timing belt overhead camshaft design. Not only did Clas make small cars they were into motor scooters. They originally made farm machinery. Like so many others the age of the engine on wheels inspired them for their horseless carriages.

Dig the name Din-golfing.

 


 


correct.


pretty cars though.

the thing is that there used to be card games like this in the sixties and seventies. I still have some packets somewhere of planes, hotrods and racing cars.

Just like Trading Cards, you'd loose the card if you get it right, but keep it if they get it wrong.

It would be good to play like if it was computerised and play it online like those other games.

QUite a few people have suggested making it an app for smartphone or computerising it so it can be played internationally and online.

wouldn't that be dandy (which btw was also a car)

Richard,


you mean kwartetten?
