All complete sets. I put them away, decades ago, thinking that I'd play these with the kids I never had. Someone should play these. Is there a market?

First posted to r/boardgames, and someone there suggested this sub.

Uh, there might also be a cosmic encounter expansion pack in the mix (I used to work for a games distributer, 35 years ago) Or maybe More Cosmic Encounter is what I'm remembering. I think it was more, however. I think I bought an envelope of extra cards. Anyway, buy both and you'll get everything I have.

Intentions? I am beyond the gaming years. I suppose I am looking for cash offers. Actually, not even that. I posted to find out if there was even a market for what I know to be games' in excellent condition.

The Kingmaker box has cloth tape on the corners.

One day back in the halcyon days of the seventies, I was attending a rock festival held in a sun-blasted farmer's field somewhere in south-western Ontario. The weather was great, the bands were adequate (Triumph might have been the headliner, iirc) (Or maybe Max Webster), and we were mostly stoned and getting mellow.

One participant, however, was failing to endear himself to his fellow revellers. It's not that he ws drunk - we were all at least a little drunk - but he was sloppy about it; stumbling around in the crowd; falling all over people's blankets and belongings; hitting on other guys' girlfriends; and offering to start fights. People were getting right fed up with his act.

After a time he had to get rid of some of the beer he'd been taking aboard, so he headed over to the line of porta-potties that represented the facilities.

What this guy was too drunk to notice was that a small, self-appointed posse of disgrunled participants followed him over. We watched him wait in line for an available john, and we noted which one he entered. We gave him a minute or two to get set.

When the moment seemed ripe, one guy stepped to the front and held the door closed while the rest of us nipped around the back and dropped the entire porta-potty over on its face.

The 'tank' was full enough that some of it splashed out and cascaded down his back, but with the unit lying door-downwards, he was trapped. He had to lie there with his pants around his ankles yelling in sewage until security came and got him out. I sure hope there was a hose somewhere on that site.

Forgive me if this has been mentioned before, but I just noticed the following passage in Lackey's Eye Spy.

>"And what were you going to do to her?, Mags continued.

>"Grab her booby, give it a twist" said Dudley[...] "I grab boobies all the time, to show girls who's in charge of them[...] When you're rich, you can do anything, and they just let you." [p. 35 of my pbk.]

Does this not sound like a certain Access Hollywood audio tape? The speaker's name, Dudley Remp, is also somewhat redolent. He's the son of a slum landlord. The 2019 copyright date checks out.
