As nice as game covers are now I'm just never going to love them the way that I love these overstylized beauties. I wish there was a way to track down some of these artists.

I would love to own coffee mugs of all of these wonders of the "modern" world.

Please feel free to add your own.

I'll be updating this from time to time.

 This looks like modern Japanese pop art. Drugs and alcohol are definately not ruled out of the creation of this one.

The game was based on the Saturday morning kids game show of that name, hosted by Stubby Kay and spun off from the weekday morning game show "Video Village," which wa shosted by Monte Hall (later of Let's Make A Deal fame). While the art may look odd, it's actually a pretty accurate depiction of the Shenanigans show. :)

Thanks, Tim. I hadn't thought about the theme song in a long time, but as soon as I read your post, the tune popped back into my head.

Of course, today, with all the news stories about pedophiles, the lyrics would certainly have to be reworked. :D

I had it as a kid too-- the play mechanics were a complete joke. You spin and move your way around the glow-in-the-dark board, collecting "spooky" items on the way, until everyone gets to the finish. Then you put everyone's ghost tokens on the spinner, spin it and whoever's token it points to wins. You'd be hard pressed to invent a game with more lame mechanics than this one. It's 100% gimmick.

Two years ago I bought a record store that went out of business in 1965 and was in storage all that time. There was almost every Denny album in the collection but I don't remember a Quiet Village 2 or 3. There was, however, Exotica 1, 2 &3. There also was a bunch of various albums with Jim Flora art. I framed a few (the only framed albums on my wall). Jim Flora had a book of his album art release last year. Check his gallery: http://www.jimflora.com/

''SHE 'offered' her 'HONOR'...''
''HE 'honored' her 'OFFER'...''
and ALL night LONG, it was ''honor & offer!''

 CEO: so you want to call this game Ploy... Hmmm... we'll need some good art on this one...

Marketing Director: I got it - we'll draw in someone that looks a little like Nimoy - you know the guy that plays the Vulcan on Star Trek?

CEO: ahh yes - perfect Nimoy for Ploy... good one

 After days of starvation in the cellar, hunger compels Polly to attempt to best the cheese trap.

There is no hunger in heaven Polly.

Is there an actual game here, or did they just throw a mousetrap in the box?

This looks like the kind of game Jane Curtain would be confronting Sleazy-Toymaker, Dan Ackroyd about.

This game is nothing but a rusty rat-ratrap!

It's aaahh educational, it teaches kids about springs and stuff. We even put a warning on it "Yo kid, don't put your hand in 'dere".

 Who said the art had to be something like a drawing or painting? Who designed this place anyway? I don't care, but put the board over there and take a photo...

I really do think the home on the back of the box would have fit in quite well in the Ape Village from the 1st movie:

Most of the 3M games of the 1970s had this "ultra-mod" look. Trying to be sophisticated and "moderne". This one does take the cake though I think...

Here's some of the game commercial tag lines that I remember:
"Milton Bradley makes the best games in the world!" (Sung by some Tony Bennett-ish type)
"From Ideal, the Good Game people!"
(Spoken by a cartoon rooster): "It's Kenner! It's fun! AWWWKK!!"
