When I used to come up with new games/ game shows to play at home, it wasn't uncommon for me to take pieces/ gameboards/ wheels/ etc. from various games to come up with some new creations. Has anybody else done that, or even "improved" other games by adding parts from others?

Now that you mention it, I would like to take the clues from TV Scrabble and use them in a game of PDQ.

I took sets of Small toys: A zoo, a car garage, Castle Greyskull, and some GIJoe stations with some Little people and monopoly money in different places to make a somewhat replica of the Fun House!
Others are: Chance of a Lifetime's Keyboard using an Up-Words board.
Life's wheel on top of a record player for Melody Roulette.

This is a really exceptional idea, and would be a fine used letter board for WOF, too.

I know I've mentioned this before. The Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus game is a really, really bad game on its own merits, but the multiple-choice questions they use are perfect for Tattletales.

As used at GSC7 (if not others), the number-one answer from the "Family Feud" home games works well to use when playing "Card Sharks" at home..

Good to know. I'd been using Scruples as my main source of content for some time now.
