Yeah, getting the originals can be pricey some times, but I am having so much fun with Henry that as pricey as it was I still feel it was money well spent.
Say what? would have been a lot better if it had been a handheld game instead of a tabletop one. It's back in its box in a closet somewhere. I couldn't find a working original of Brain Warp so I settled on a Star Wars themed version call Death Star Escape. It's the same game, same hardware , just with a Star Wars theme instead of the generic Brain Warp one. Now all I need is some self adhesive tactile letters to mark each of the characters.
