1988 Milton Bradley Hangman Game. Has all pieces and instructions. The game is in very good condition. The box has a huge dent in it that makes it hard to keep closed.
This 1988 edition of the Milton Bradley Hangman game is a fantastic piece of retro gaming history, bringing the classic pen-and-paper word puzzle into a tactile, mechanical format. Released during the golden era of Milton Bradley "Travel" and "Tabletop" editions, this version features the iconic red and yellow plastic components that defined 1980s family game nights. The game is fully complete, including all letter tiles and the original instruction manual, which is a rare find for a set of this age.
While the primary appeal is nostalgic play, the bold primary colors and mechanical aesthetic make this a fun "pop-art" addition to a mid-century modern shelf or a gallery of vintage toys. The game components themselves are in very good condition, functioning exactly as intended for a quick-fire word challenge. It should be noted that the original box has a significant large dent which makes it difficult to keep the lid securely closed. However, for the collector who prioritizes the completeness and condition of the game pieces over the outer packaging, this set is a perfect way to own a pristine slice of 1980s leisure culture.
