The Pac-Man game is great and iconic, but I don’t think its plays well as a board game. Sure there are the power pellets but that’s such a minor addition that this game doesn’t really gain any traction over Candyland.
Roll the dice, move your Pyak-Man towards the most marbles, move the ghost towards the closest other Pict-Mun. There’s very little actual strategy or choices to make. But this game, like so … many… others is just about rolling the dice and hoping you win. The overall theme of the game is pretty neat, I’ll admit. Once all the marbles on the board are collected the game is over and whichever Poc-Ma’am has the most marbles, wins the game. However, if one of the Pax-Man has a yellow Power Pellet, they can instead gobble up the ghost, returning the ghost to the middle of the board and stealing 2 marbles from any player. If a ghost touches a Pak-Min, that player has to return to their starting space and give the player who ghosted them 2 marbles. The Pac-Man board game pits 2 to 4 players against each other to see who can gobble the most pellets.Īs the game progresses, the ghosts will start to encroach upon your Pac-Mom. In fact, I bet it’s super fun and provides hours of exciting entertainment! Spoiler Alert: It’s Not and It Doesn’t. Or in this case, a game by its box cover. Regardless of that, it’s important to also never judge a book by its cover. Which doesn’t apply here, but still a good lesson. If my parents taught me anything it’s look both ways before crossing the street. As far as I’m concerned “marble-gobbling” is best reserved for ravenous semi-aquatic mammals. If you’re anything like me, even the box cover doesn’t seem to bode well. One such grab was done by our friendly neighborhood gaming company, Milton Bradley. With it’s huge following and popularity, it’s no surprise there was a lot of cash-grabs using good ol’ PuckMan. Arguably one of the most popular of these Nintendos was Pac-Man.
Kids were spending all their time in these newfangled arcades playing those whosamawhatchit Nintendos. It’s no surprise to anyone alive today that the 1980’s were a strange time. Today we take a travel back to the 1980s to look at one of several arcade board games made by Milton Bradley: Pac-Man.
