6B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 2021 Baby Boomers Still Playing Together Even “Party Gaming” on Zoom (NAPSI)—Over 70 mil- lion Baby Boomers grew up playing board games and watching game shows to- gether—and they still love doing both. A new pop culture trivia game is taking Boomers on a nostalgic road trip back to the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s. Designed to be played by two teams, Boom Again features thousands of questions drawing upon Boomer’s memories of advertising slogans and jingles, politics and social movements, movies, mu- sic, television, and more. \ Groups of Baby Boom- ers are laughing their way through memories on a wide variety of their expe- riences: from The Twist to Disco; American Band- stand to Soul Train; Doris Day all the way to Janis Joplin, and on to Steve Martin; Hula Hoops to The Pill; and poodle skirts to mini-skirts. And they are singing their way through all the music of their youth, too. This game is clearly not an S.A.T. test with ques- tions like: • Name three of the most popular episodes of “I Love Lucy.” • Name the original main courses from Swanson’s TV Dinners. • What did Silly Putty have to do with the Sunday comic strips? The wide array of mate- rial is organized into easily remembered categories: Things We Heard—Mu- sic, jingles, famous speech- es, lyrics, catchphrases Things We Saw—TV shows, movies, commer- cials, magazines, sporting events Things We Learned in School—The “3 R’s,” clubs, dances, school yard games In The News—Politics, sports, world events, Sun- day comics, murder, war Stuff We Learned On the Street—Toys, Fashion, Cars, Social Movements, Dances, etc. A Box Full of Memories The game comes pack- aged in a “cigar box” famil- iar to Baby Boomers who stashed their stuff in those as kids. It has two boxes of cards with 2,244 questions, and Boomer era tokens in- cluding a Metal Skate Key, a “Students For Kennedy” Button, a center insert for a 45-RPM Record, and more. There’s even a “Boom- ers’ Little Helper” magnifi er in case someone forgets their readers. An Antidote to Pandemic Isolation Apparently nothing can keep a social Baby Boomer from hanging out with their friends. Party games have always brought people together. Now, even when friends and families haven’t been together in person, they have been playing Boom Again together on Zoom. It’s become known as a Boom Zoom!
