I happened to see these at the dollar store recently. I thought they were pretty funny. They're just a little off from their more will known counterparts.

First up, it's Climb & Slide! Everyone's favorite games of going up Ladders and going down Chutes.

Next, we have Mystery Game. From what I gather from reading the box, the object of the game is to follow the Clues to figure out who the murderer is, which weapon they used, and which room it happened in.

My favorite one is No Apologies! In this one you move your piece around the board, and if you land on someone else's piece they have to go back to the beginning. But if this happens, you're not allowed to say Sorry.

These all made me laugh, so I looked into it further and found something weird. Each of the more mainstream versions of these games are made by Hasbro, which owns Parker Brothers. So these knock off games are knocking off their own company. I wonder if it's similar to food companies selling the same product at different grocery stores under different brand names. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
