I heard you on KMOX today and was wondering if you might know where I can get the instructions for the board game BAFFLES. The box says that it was made by Chieftain Products in Canada but I haven’t been able to make contact with them. This is a great game, but the only one I could find had no instructions with it.

Thanks for your help.

Don,

The Associatiation of Game and Puzzle Collectors offers a service. I checked their website under (www.chaichart.com/phpwebsite)
under AGPC Rules Archive and they do have Baffle rules but lists it as a Milton Bradley game. It’s probably the same rules as Chieftain’s version (Canadian company) unless you’re looking for French rules. Photocopies of game instructions cost $1 each for members and $4 each for non-members.

To order game instructions, send name of game titles and manufactures with check to:
AGPC
PMB 321
197M Boston Post Road West
Marlborough, MA 01752

Any luck on finding those rules. The Bradley game is a different game called Bible Baffle. I too am in search of the Rules to Baffles.

Thanks,

Dave

If the AGCP doesn’t have the game rules I need (which it appears they do not in this case) I usually go to Darwin’s Game Closet. I just returned from there and they don’t seem to have the rules to Baffles either. I will keep an eye out, but your best bet might be to just buy one here.

Hi, Does anyone know the dog’s name on the Toss Across commercial from the 60’s/70’s? Thank you for your help!
