How about vintage children's board games. Games that used to keep me and my friends entertained for hours as young children with simple colour palettes, game rules and aims. Some of my favourites were snakes and ladders, connect four, hopscotch and battleships. These games were around long before I was but kept going through the eras as they are timeless classics that children enjoyed for years and years. This gives me a massive range of areas to branch off too, a theme with lots of inspiration and possibilities, just what I need to keep me busy and interested.
Games in the 21st century are all full of technology and gadgets, what happened to a good old board game? I want to go for the vintage theme not the contemporary so games like snakes and ladders and marbles are perfect.
I found a lovely vintage old fashioned advert for connect four from the 1980's.
What a beautifully crafted vintage snakes and ladders board.
