My 70's Memories - Which Witch?

Which Witch? is a 1970, Milton Bradley three dimensional haunted house race game. Players would move their children pawns around the game board trying to be the first to escape the haunted house by reaching the charmed circle at the top of the stairs. Players would pick cards with one of three witches on them. Wanda the Wicked would turn you into a mouse and you couldn't move till you got a good witch card and were turned back into a child.

If someone picked a Ghoulish Gerty card, then the fun really started. Gertie would drop the whammy ball down the chimney and it would shoot out one of four rooms of the haunted house. If you were standing on the staircase or one of the danger spots, a swinging broom, loose floor boards, moving wall, or the ball itself, might knock your child (or mouse) back to a safe spot.

Sounds like fun. Don't really "know" this game. In those days though, we still had something called "imagination". Now that is replaced by merely looking out of your eyes at Xbox or PS ... :-(

I loved that game, putting the game together was as much fun as playing.
