Milton Bradley Bigfoot Game Bigfoot, he of the infamous giant footprints, scored his own board game in 1977. A scarce find today, it's one of my favorite monster themed games.
If this Bigfoot was meant to look friendly, the artist really missed the mark. He is clearly considering eating these children.
Players select pawns, which appear to be mountaineers, explorers, or possibly Bigfoot hunters.
The game track takes players through prime Bigfoot habitat, including snowy slopes and dense forests. A mining town, lumber mill, gold mine, and supply store appear to offer shelter.
The pawns are moved according to the roll of the dice, but if they land on a Bigfoot space, a subsequent roll moves the monster, a hefty plastic figure, along the track:
As Bigfoot crosses or lands on a pawn, he dispenses a disk, which may or may not bear a footprint. If the print appears, that pawn is out of the game. Last player left unstepped upon wins!
This is good.
This is bad.
