I am a child of the 80’s. Born in ’73, my conscious mind really started to take shape in the years defined by E.T, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future and Star Wars…, Nintendo Hardware games (Orange Donkey Kong fold up…;), Big Tall Stereo towers, LP records, Neon Colors and my favorite game at that time… “ONDERUIT”. The game ( “Downfall” in English) is a strategic turn by turn, like Zeeslag (“Battleship”) or Vier op een Rij (“four in a row”), but it had something different then the rest. The gears that you would turn would influence the game of your opponent. I absolutely loved that. The objective of the game would be to unload your two times 5 Tokens that would feed in at the top. By turning the gears, the Tokens would fall into the special token spaces available in each of the 5 gears. You could move the tokens down to the catch reservoir at the bottom. Whoever did that the quickest way would win. I used to play this game a lot with my dad and my sister and had one strategy. I would always try to load up the final gear (which had space for 5 tokens) and prepare my turn to have maximum effect by dropping 5 Tokens in the reservoir at once… freaking out my competition…. In this case usually my sister.
