Creepy Cauldron (1992) by MB Games - Rare Spooky 3D Halloween Vintage Board Game Review 

It's a lovely looking piece, isn't it. :)

No problem! :D

@@AtticRaidersRetroReviews if your up for doing a board game giants thing with me my email is nojoha@yahoo.com. keep up the great work!

@@BoardGameMuseumer Thanks. :) Will send you an email.

Looks like it was possibly a European-only release - there are definitely French, Italian, Dutch and Spanish langauage versions. Man, I really want Forbidden Bridge! Why are the best lookin' ones always to expensive! lol

@@AtticRaidersRetroReviews Dunno if you've seen my review but the game plays far better without the bridge railings, might help you find one cheaper? You can also get 3d print files for railings if you change your mind later. it's what I did :)

My favorite of the non‐English titles is the Italian mini‐rhyme _Frega_ _la_ _strega_ (roughly “Cheat the Witch”). While _Creepy_ _Cauldron_ is an appropriate enough name, it might have been nice to indulge the rhyme scheme with _Ditch_ _the_ _Witch_ - catchy, as well as more accurate than the Italian version! Gorgeous and satisfyingly tactile though the components are, I wish they were married to more interesting gameplay-it appears the only meaningful decisions come when itʼs time to fumble about inside the cauldron. With reimagined rules this could be a Halloween humdinger!

@@AtticRaidersRetroReviews I hate when I get frogified. Makes me hopping mad every time.

@@downfromtheattic Yeah, I've watched it; great review. :) Sadly I've only ever seen REALLY expensive copies online, even non-complete.

Great movie. I can't remember if the cauldon itself had a face or not?

But it's brown

Oh no! Still, it's an amazing looking game - dice is bound to turn up sooner or later on eBay in a spare parts bundle.

Yeah, I was on the lookout for a cheap-ish one for a long time before snagging this.

@@AtticRaidersRetroReviews Yeah I’ll eventually grab a copy... I’m in no rush. Honestly at a pretty good collecting stop unless something random I’ve been on the hunt for shows up haha. My next review going up I think you’ll be surprised by ;). Also I sent you an email. Not sure if ya got it haha

@@TabletopIsland Will definitely be on the look out for the next review. Reply to your email in a bit. :)

Yep run you about 100

Agreed - which is a bit odd - I understand for some of the smaller games companies like Peter Pan, but MB was global and I could see this having worldwide appeal at the time.
