Jo, my better half, had a board game which her sister had given her, her sister had worked and lived in Boston for thirty years before returning to the UK, it was, I think, called Crossing the Continent and had destination cards and greyhound buses, it was a race across the USA. Well the game has been wrecked by kids and grandkids and I am looking to replace it, a) does anyone remember it and b) can you still get it in the USA?
regards
Peter

It's out of print, Peter, but there's a copy available on ebay for $25. I don't do ebay, unfortunately.

There are several on ebay, at various prices (don't forget to take the postage into account).

I bought it but oh my $11.50 to buy $50 dollars plus to ship. It was even the 1960 version she used to have I will have sooooooo many brownie points when it arrives that it will be worth every penny! Thanks one and all

as you said, worth every penny!

Some years back I saw a book I'd forgotten I'd ever owned so bought it, cost I think was $10, then I decided to find a book I had never forgotten owning, so went searching & bought it, too.

when I was collecting a series of SF/Fantasy books, some cost $1 & postage from US could be over $10.

but it's great to have them.

I think everything I've ever bought on Ebay cost more to ship than I paid for the item.
