Do you remember a board game where the “players” were ice cubes with feet. You moved the cubes from one place to another, dropping them in water or pouring salt on them. The winner was the one who made it all the way to the end without melting.

Hey Dale! Thanks for stopping by.

It was me, Tom O’Leary, author of Games We Played.

This is the blog for the book I wrote a couple of years ago about the games we played in the streets, courtyards, back gardens, sidewalks and porches in Peekskill back in the 1970s and 80s.

I might be biased, but Highland Park was the best place for a kid to grow up during those years. The Woods, Big Rock, Clay Mountain, the Pump House, The Hat Factory — Wow! What more would a kid want?

I’m glad you enjoyed a trip down memory lane.

Who wrote this? I am from Highland Park and this is a terrific description of Clay Mountain. Brought back beautiful memories.

Remember the game well. My younger brother, sisters (had to play hopscotch in return), and neighbors played all the time. But sure never knew a first aid kit was somewhat required.

Hi Julie and Betsy. You can find some photos of Silly Sandwich at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/28278/silly-sandwich

If you register on the site I think that you can trade things with the owner of the game or buy it from them. Not too sure though!

What a blast from the past!

Thanks!

It was called Silly Sandwich – I think. Where you could make a sandwich with ice cream, sardines, etc. Would love to find a copy of that game – any suggestions? Thanks.
