Question
I played a games with friends back in the 80's and all I can remember is that it had big picture boards and each board had hundreds of different things on them and don't remember the object of the game but you had to pick out things that start with certain letters I think but not sure, each board must have been about 8-12" high by about 6" wide, please help me with the name, thanks.....
