I remember seeing it high on a shelf and begging my mom to buy it for me. It took some convincing, but I finally got it. My mom was strapped for money at the time, so I know it was hard for her to cave in. I knew this; it was selfish, and I&#8217;m still ashamed of it. But, some good did come from it.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"postImage\" href=\"https:\/\/www.disneyexperience.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/sarlaccpit_22.jpg\" rel=\"p1759\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1766\" title=\"sarlaccpit_2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.disneyexperience.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/sarlaccpit_22-150x126.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"126\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"postImage\" href=\"https:\/\/www.disneyexperience.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/sarlaccpit_32.jpg\" rel=\"p1759\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"sarlaccpit_3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.disneyexperience.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/sarlaccpit_32-150x112.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"postImage\" href=\"https:\/\/www.disneyexperience.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/sarlaccpit_42.jpg\" rel=\"p1759\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"sarlaccpit_4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.disneyexperience.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/sarlaccpit_42-150x113.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Battle at Sarlacc&#8217;s Pit<\/em> introduced me to a whole new level of board games. Until then, all I had known was the typical flat board. But, this game was three-dimensional! Better yet, it was very interactive: you move along Jabba&#8217;s sail barge, knocking Gamorrean guards to their doom, below. Even when I wasn&#8217;t playing the game, I&#8217;d set it up and feed other toys to the Sarlacc beast. Oh, what fun!<\/p>\n<p>Sure, I had seen 3-D board games on television and in the stores (i.e. <em>Mousetrap<\/em>), but I had never owned one. That wasn&#8217;t my last 3-D game, and I continue to look for such innovations in future games.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"postImage\" href=\"https:\/\/www.disneyexperience.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/hmgame_vintage_12.jpg\" rel=\"p1759\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"hmgame_vintage_1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.disneyexperience.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/hmgame_vintage_12-150x143.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Several years ago, I came across images of a 1972 <a href=\"http:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/5893\/haunted-mansion-game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>Haunted Mansion<\/em><\/a> game.
