E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial

Published 1982

This is a simple game in which players roll dice and move about the gameboard attempting to collect the items that ET needs to phone home. Along the way you'll have to hide ET from your parents (using his clever Halloween disguise) and go on the magical bicycle ride through the skies (with the use of special Elliot cards). The object is to be the first player to get ET to the three-dimensional spaceship that sits in the middle of the board. Obviously intended for children, this game is mostly a merchandising tie-in for the movie, but is at the least an interesting piece for an ET enthusiast.
