I ripped the box open and there was a veritable treasure trove of bits and pieces inside: small caricatures of some characters; question cards; cards with pictures from the various business premises; a wonderful board; and even some plastic pigeons. It seemed as though just about everything was there and we couldn't wait to get started. There was only one problem. No rules!
So is there anybody out there with a copy of this game, which dates from 1995, and has a copy of the rules that they could scan or photocopy for me and Flaming Nora as we're eager with anticip..ation to get going with this game? It looks far better than your average go round a board and answer a few questions type game. Here's what the blurb on the box has to say:
'How well do you know Britain's best known Street? One things for sure. This exciting game will put your knowledge to the test. For instance, do you know which Coronation Street character is called 'Duck Egg'? Or do you know what 'Addled' means? There are over 1000 varied trivia questions for you to answer but this game is much more than that.To win the game you have to collect items from various locations on The Street. So, do you fancy a pint at The Rovers or a shampoo at Denise's Salon?You'll also have to catch Jack's pigeons which have an annoying habit of flying off. Oh! And just when you least need it, someone will stop you on The Street for a long gossip.Who wins? Well, its not necessarily the Street whiz, or someone old enough to remember Ena Sharples, but it could help!'
So have you played the game? Is it any good? And have you got a copy of the rules you could let us have?
