Hangman Retro Board Game Review - Milton Bradley 1976

Description provided by Old Crappy Couch on YouTube:

Is this the most pointless board game of all time, or is it secretly ingenious? Based on a popular game commonly played with a pencil and paper, this version of Hangman published by Milton Bradley in 1976 brings the game into the modern age of paperless technology. Players will select a mystery word to stump their opponent, who will have ten guesses to discover all of the letters in the word. Should they fail, they lose! I'm sure the inclusion of horror legend Vincent Price on the cover of this classic game is simply a little gallows humor, as Price is most famous for playing villainous roles in over a hundred classic movies! This vintage Milton Bradley game is a neat little piece of paperless technology history. We like to think that sustainability is a recent concept, but there are all sorts of examples throughout gaming that show us otherwise!
