Retro Americana 3D Puzzles

It's amazing to think that America actually has some retro architecture. There are some places where history still lingers. Unlike Europe, it seems that America likes to knock things down and start all over. Hopefully we can learn to integrate the old with the new at some point.

These 3D Puzzles on Amazon are pretty amazing replicas of good ol' American buildings we see today.

This American Flavor - Fast Food Restaurant 3D Puzzle is my favorite. So many old movies and pictures are centered around old fashioned fast food restaurants. Don't you think it would be fun to play with paper dolls at this fast food restaurant? It's perfect!

I hate to say it, but this American Motel 3D Jigsaw Puzzle reminds me of horror films. I didn't realize how much of a negative stigma older style motels actually have! Stereotypes aside, from a puzzle standpoint this is actually quite amazing. The motel is full of fun little details such as the signs. It might be possible to use this as a doll house.

Speaking of detail, this Gas Station 3D Jigsaw Puzzle is absolutely stunning. I almost didn't even recognize it as a puzzle! Not only that, but it is definitely a replica of old American gas stations! I love how authentic the font and signs look. I've only seen a handful of older gas stations in person. Unfortunately they were never in working condition.

I think that we sometimes forget our colorful Western background! That is why I really can appreciate this American Flavor - Western Bar 3D Puzzle. The bar is very cool and full of fun details. I wish I could find a whole Western Puzzle Town. I'm sure my saloon girls would get up to a lot of mischief.

Which one is your favorite? Tell me about it down below in the comments.

Fun Vintage 1960s TV Show Boardgames

I've always thought collecting 1960's TV Show Boardgames would be fun. I know for my parents or even some of my friends these would even be a challenge to remember everything. Let's all take a moment to reminisce about some of these 1960's TV show board games.

House Party Board Game is a good addition to anyone who was a fan of the old show. It has the cue cards with stunts on them, special games booklet, box liners, spinner, box and instructions.

One of America's favorite dogs, Lassie, had it's own boardgame. The Adventures of Lassie Board Game is a rare find. There is a spinner and markers to move around the board. It looks like fun!

The Concentration Board Game is played exactly as it was on TV. This is the second edition of the game.

This Vintage Jan Murray's Charge Account TV Word Game is played, also, exactly how it was on television.

This Eye Guess Board Game is a fun one! Based on the popular 1966-69 game show, two players are shown eight answers for eight seconds. One player answers questions by giving the number covering the appropriate answer.

The old CBS TV game Vintage Password Game is like the television show. The object of the game is to score points by guessing the correct "Password" from clues given by the partner.

This is a really simple game. The Hollywood Squares Board Game is really fun to play with little kids. The purpose is to be the first player or team to complete a tic-tac-toe or get 5 symbols on the board.
