Target Has Launched A Bunch Of Board Games That'll Help You Re-Live Your Childhood

By Tanya | Jul 01, 2024

Playing board games used to be what every kid thought of as fun. Now, most kids would rather play with a cellphone or computer.

However, there is still a good portion of the population who are happy to sit down with a good ol' fashioned board game, but, a lot of us are older now. We do happen to be a little bit stuck in our ways, but we can't help but be nostalgic for our childhood, because simply put, everything from our childhood was better.

We had the best TV shows, the best music, and the best movies, so why not revel in it a little bit?

Luckily, Target has decided that our 70s, 80s, and 90s nostalgia is something worth celebrating, and they've managed bring it to life in the best way imaginable. They've just launched a brand new set of board games, all based on things we couldn't get enough of growing up.

They've taken some of your favorite classic throwback shows including The Brady Bunch, MacGyver, and The Golden Girls and turned them into a board game.

They've also got other throwback-style games that make us think they are reading our minds.

Now, they aren't paying us to talk about these games, but I mean, if they wanted to I would accept because they all look fun and I want to play them right this second. Look at them!
