Like nearly everyone here I learned WaHoo from my grandma. Seemingly played by the whole family at one tme or another, it was a favorite of us grandchildren's nad we all have our own WaHoo stories that we exchange when we reconvien. When Grandma died her board couldn't be divided, but perhaps someday mine will be as worn as well and who ever gets it when I die will have a new set of stories. This proves it -- You really can find everything on the web!

I love this board, we had one just like it as kids growing up. But the one I most remember was one that was specialy made for my father by a friend that was made from an old table table top. I would love to know where it vanished to.

Hi, I grew up near Anson, TX and both sets of grandparents lived in Noodle, TX. Lots of kin folks in Oklahoma too... I recently found the old Wahoo board and was searching for the rules over the web, as I couldn't remember them all. Well, I'm happy to have run across this web site! I have SO many fond memories of playing Wahoo when I was a kid! With brothers and cousins and parents alike, we all laughed and had so much fun! Our old board was hand-made but I remember one of my grandparents had a board that looked similar to the one you sell. I also love your collection of old boards! Thanks for helping to bring back so many memories! Oh, by the way, if anyone is looking for the rules, it's on Wikipedia.com.

Oh my gosh!!!! Reading all these stories crack me up. I used to think only our family played Wahoo too!!!! I grew up in the 70's and 80's & some of my best all time memories are of playing Wahoo with my Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles and cousins at grandmas house in Berryville, Arkansas. I remember a lot of cigarette smoke, drinking coke, eating way too much candy, and a loud, boisterous game of wahoo with everyone accusing each other of cheating! ha! Good times!!!! I'm so glad i found this site! I just ordered the game so i can teach it to and play it with my kids....they are 5 & 3...We've got to keep this tradition going!!!!

I started playing Wa Hoo when I was just a child and loved it dearly. As time when on, eventually the board was lost and for many years I didn't even think of the game. Then in the 80's I had 2 children and a friend of my husbands brought the game over and we began to play. Many many hours were spent playing this with our friends and family. My children grew to love it as much as we did and so my husbands friend made them their own board out of wood. It was a beautiful board, however, when they grew up and moved away, my son took it with him so he could continue to play. I have missed playing for a long time now and decided to google it and there you were!!!! YAY, I was so happy that I have ordered 3 different boards. The original, one of the 20 x 20 2 sided and one with the Indian and Tee Pee on it. I was so glad to find your site and I know what all my friends will be recieving for Christmas this year. I will be returning to order more soon.

I was so glad to find you site today, my boys found the old Wa Hoo Board that was always at my Great Grandmothers home in Hastings, Ok. We wanted to make sure I was remembering the correct rules so we did an internet search, was so glad to find the site, and that it included the original rules! I have been playing this game since 1964, one time while playing with my cousins and Uncle Joe he couldn't get out and we already each had several marbles in our teepees' he got so mad that he threw the board across the room, my Great Grandmother made him pick up all the pieces, we all had a good laugh many times about that!

my sisters and cousins share MANY fond memories of wahoo playing at our grandma's house in kingston, okla. when we came to visit us kids would have to wait until the adults were thru playing, but grandma always had time for a game with her grandkids. my dad just helped me lay out the pattern for a 7 hole wahoo board that i will be making for my family-nieces and nephews to carry on the tradition. how exciting to know that more than just okies and texans play WAHOO!!!!!

I'm 68 years old and when we got married (back in the '60s)my husband(now ex)and I had one of the original Wa-hoo boards. We used to play Wa-hoo all the time with the couple who lived in the apartment next to us. My ex got mad one night because he thought the neighbor's wife was cheating, but he pretended he was mad at me and picked up the Wa-hoo board and broke it in two. The other couple's mouths just dropped open as they didn't know what to do. Anyway, we got another board and continued to play with them, and they never did know why he got so mad. That is, until we got divorced, and I finally told them. They just had a good laugh. And, by the way, we are still good friends with them even though they live in Oklahoma now.

WAHOO WAS MY FAVORITE GAME AS A CHILD. MY DADDY AND I SPENT MANY HOURS PLAYING IT AND I ALWAYS HAD TO WIN ON MY OWN BECAUSE HE NEVER LET ME. HA. WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE GAME OVER THE YEARS BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANOTHER GAME.(MINE WAS WORN OUT) MY MOTHER READ ABOUT IT IN A MAGAZINE AND GAVE ME THE EMAIL ADDRESS TO ORDER HER, MY BROTHER AND ME ONE. MY DAD HAS PASSED AWAY BUT HE WOULD BE PROUD TO KNOW WE HAD FOUND ONE SO WE CAN PASS THE COMPETITIVENESS ON TO OUR KIDS.

Love your website! I always thought Wa Hoo was a game played only by my family but I see now that it was so much more. I grew up in Arizona in the 50's and 60's and every branch of my family had their own homemade Wa Hoo board. They were made of heavy wood with fancy formica tops and the marble holes were painted silver or gold, but no Indian markings. The family story was that my grandad had been told about the game from a man who had learned it during a prison stay. I always thought that added the element of danger to the whole affair. Anyway,each player would shake their dice in a Tupperware cup and then toss it out against the side of the board...it was a very noisy game I remember. My grandparents and uncles and aunts would play for hours with their cigarettes going and their tumbers of ice tea. One of my uncles was caught using a loaded die for when he needed a six. Now that was serious! I dusted off my grandad's board the other night and played a few games with my wife. It brought back such wonderful memories of all those years ago. It was always more fun to play when you had four people, I cannot even imagine playing with six as I see on your site. So glad to see we have a Wa Hoo site now and to see other people's stories and to see all the different boards....who knew?

Could someone help answer a question? If you get a marble around the board and you want to save it, you need a 3 to move it all the way up but you roll a 1 and it's safe. Do you have to wait until you roll a 2 to move it on up or can you mmove it up 1 space at a time if you roll a 1?

Sent you the picture of our board-homemade by dear sweet lady-since passed, and the fun we had if measured in tons could never be weighed by any means.She lived in West Virginia until moving to Arizona until a few yrs before passing passing this yr. Have read the stories about people loving it so much. Hey you did not have all the I had some too!

I am 39 and grew up playing Wahoo at my grandmother's house in Richmond, VA. She was from Kansas City, MO, which is how I guess she knew the game. My whole family on that side LOVED playing the game and still does. There is a story that Gram and my mom once played 100 games in a day--and at the end they were tied 50-50 exactly. If there's an Afterlife, they are surely playing Wahoo there.

Wow! That is all I can say. Talk about a wall of memories smacking me all at once! Thinking back on old times as a kid, visiting this strange place called Texas, the cloudy memory of humid fun filled nights playing this game come to mind. I thought it was all a dream until I remembered that triumphant call: WAHOO!. I searched and searched for the history of this game, and then I found your site. Thank you for congealing those memories. I now know I didn't make them up. I only wish that our family's vintage board game hadn't been lost in the many moves my grandparents made. We had the more elaborate one on your gallery page, with a plastic red frame and the words wahoo cascading down all of the tee pees. I'll have to be content with a new repro that you are selling until I find another vintage one to replace the one in my dreams. Thanks again for this GREAT site!

I am 46 and grew up playing Wahoo with my family in Marlow, OK. I can remember grandmother always saying "go with your lead man". The grown ups never let us kids win, we had to win on our own. We have a picture of my 93 year old grandmother playing her last Wahoo game with her youngest grandson just a few weeks before she passed. She got him out and he asked "are you going to do that to your favorite grandson?" She just laughed and said "of course this is Wahoo!" I have taught the game to the 2nd graders I use to teach and am now teaching it to the children I work with now. They always love it and it is for all ages!

I will be 50 years old next month and remember playing Wa-Hoo all of my life. My favorite games have been over the past couple of years playing with my parents again. My Dad and I partner up against my Mom and my roommate and just beat the dickens out of them. We have introduced it to many people who end up just loving it. I just found your website recently and never knew that 6 people could play! WOW! I can't wait to try that one. Wa-Hoo is definitely the game of all games!

I just have to chime in here. I grew up playing this game with my best friend and his family. We've played Wahoo literally 1000's of times and it was exclusively on a 6-player board. There is nothing better than a big game of Wahoo, because everyone loves to antagonize each other! When my best friend had his first child, his uncle made a beautiful wooden, hand-painted Wahoo board, with inlays on the sides. We love the game!

I grew up playing Wahoo when visiting my grandparents in Rotan, Texas. But, have been unable to locate one in years. Today, I went to an antigue shop nearby and found one...best yet, it was made from the town where I reside..Gatesville, Texas. I had heard we had an old manufacturing company here years ago that burned. I had heard it was then relocated out of Gatesville? Any history information on the company in Gatesville? Will probably order from you for Christmas surprises to my family...the history information would be great.

I never heard of the game growing up until I met a girl and got married. Her family played this game and I find it quite nice. I made my wife a board for Mother's day and we have taught all of our children and grand children to play.

I was about 9 or so and it was my first time to Texas to visit some Family Friends. That is where i first played Wahoo and my family bought a game while there. We have not been able to find one anywhere until now. My mom and dad still have the original game they bought year's ago and my daughter plays with my mother everytime she visit's. I wanted my own for here at home and was not able to take my mother's away from her. Ha Ha. So I am SO EXCITED to be getting my own. I can't wait to get it. I may have to come back and buy another to pass on to my daughter to keep for her future family. This is the Best game!!

My family played Wa-Hoo when I was little and my husband and I played Wa-Hoo with our daughters as they were growing up (on my old childhood Wa-Hoo board!) Last night our grandsons spent the night and guess what they found? Right!! The old game board was pulled out and we played SEVERAL games of Wa-Hoo. This morning our oldest grandson, Jason, said, "I wish we could have a Wa-Hoo game at our house." So, Jason and I went online. Can you imagine how happy we were to find your website!? (Jason had faith that "Santa Claus can make anything, even really old things, so I can just write Santa about it!".....but, I was relieved to find you just the same! Thanks for a great game, for many hours of family fun, and for still being there when we need you!! Judy Adams, Des Peres, MO

I am so excited about finding this game. I grew up playing Wa-Hoo. I was born in Amarillo, TX in 1963, my parents had the game before I was born and here it how many years later and we are still playing with the original board they bought. Last night my neice was over at my house and my mom, myself and my neice were playing the game. I decided that I was going to try and make new boards for everyone for Christmans because it's been such a family tradition. Well today I decided to do a google search and found the game. I'm ordering 5 boards for Christmas presents and I couldn't be more excited to see their faces when they open up their gifts. I only hope I can wait until Christmas to give them out. I hope everyone else enjoys this game as much as our family has for over 40 years. Thank you!

Here it is 2004 and just bought a lot at Rough River and decided to take the game down there to play with a couple I've known for some time and needed the rules due to the fact that we forgot how to play, I was surprized t find it on the net.I hope we can have many more yrs. of fun with this game again.

Hey Chuck, just had our 8th Annual Competition last week-end and it was another good one. This year we were in Longview, Texas. Our Trophy for undefeated champion this year went to Peggy Groce of Longview. We had from a five year old Mallan Mauldin from Hallsville to an 85 year old Bertha Hampton from Tyler competing this year. Everyone had a time! My four year old grandson has now learned to play. His Dad taught him at the competition and then got beat in the process! GO COOPER !! Have a good un, Chuck. Keep up the good work. James

I remember playing Wa Hoo when I was visiting my relatives in Hurst, Texas and we still sometimes play at my Aunt Marions'house. My Grandpa made me a wooden gameboard before he passed away. My children love to play it. Up until about a year ago I did not know it was as so popular.

Like many others, my fondest childhood memories in the 1950's and 60's were at my grandmother and grandaddy's farm in east Texas playing Wahoo. It didn't matter if it was a cold winter night or a hot summer evening, Wahoo was always fun for all of my cousins, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, parents and grandparents! My husband is from South Dakota and told me of a game they played in his childhood called "marbles". His dad made the board. When he described it I said that's Wahoo... then I came upon your website and showed him your pictures of vintage boards, and he said it sure is, they just made their own board! I can hardly believe you sell the marbles, dice, bags, and even give out the instructions for free! This must be part of American Heritage. His relatives were from Norway, so who knows how old and where it really came from! Thanks for keeping the best tradition in Texas alive and well!

Wow...! I've have been looking for a Wahoo Board for years. Our original one turned up missing. Every year my sisters and I talk about Wahoo and accuse each other of taking it. Anyway I could never understand why the game is never shelfed. I gave up and bought the game Aggravation. Today at work we started discussing Wahoo again so I decided to look it up on the internet and only expected to find it on ebay only and your website game up. I just couldn't believeit and not only that they are manufactured in Texas. Anyway I ordered six of them one for each of my sisters and for my children. This is by far the most exciting gift I hav found for Christmas and can't way to give them. Thank you. Dianna from Tulsa

Hi Chuck, I feel as tho I know you. The artist who designed the Mexicas board for you is my son and worked on the designs in my back bedroom while he was staying with me. It was quite exciting to see it all come to life. Our family has played Wahoo for ages and was introduced to the family by my parents. Dad has been gone for 5 years now and Mom is 92 and can't play anymore, but my four grown children and seven grandchildren adore the game. It's especially nice to have a game this day and age where all ages can play. We're planning to start a Wahoo night in one of the local resturant/bars here in Norman and I'm hoping you'll continue making the new designs. Jan from Kidoodles Toy store here in town wants to see a "girlie" version with pink princesses etc. on it. I got the first Mexicas board you sent and have put a wooden back on it with the directions glued to the back. ..have stained the wood and think it looks like a real piece of art. Thanks so much for letting Gane do this design and best of luck with its success. Karen

I would like to say that I am glade that Wa Hoo is still out there. I have not played it in years and I was going throw my Mom & Dad things and came up on this game & I rember playing it a long time ago. I could not have bben that old when I played it. But it is still in my mine when the family got together to play that game that we all could play.

Wa Hoo is argueably the best game ever invented. Each board is skilled to perfection to meet your gaming needs. Its complex design puts it at the head of its class. The genius behind this game is outstanding. Its outrageous that this game is attainable by anyone for only a measley 20 bucks.I have played this game a numerous amount of times and can tell you myself that it never gets old. The craftsmanship of this board is remarkable. It is light weight and skinny which makes it easy to pack for any trip or special occasion. It is my belief that every normal household owns a Wa Hoo board.

I have attended the Grandma Chapman Wahoo Competition every year,but never have won yet. Its lots of fun and I get to see people I haven't seen for awhile. My mom lives next door to me and she has people over at least 2 time a week to play Wa-Hoo. We have started a new thing at our house, to play at least one game a night if we can before we go to bed. It can get really loud sometimes. My youngest daughter, Tiffany and I are partners, and my husband and my oldest daughter are partners. Tiffany and I don't like to loose. Tiffany has a paper she keeps score of how many games each team wins. Wa-Hoo is a big part of our lives. Thanks, Joy

Chuck, we just had the 7th Annual Grandma Chapman Wa-Hoo Competition this past week-end and, as usual, WE HAD A TIME! There were only 41 that made it to this one out of the 52 that were signed up to play. The door prizes from Traditional Game & Toy Company were a big hit. Thanks. Six lucky people went home with a brand new store bought wa hoo board. Our trophy to the undefeated competitor this year went to a fourteen year old from Conroe, Texas, Elizabeth Ware. The runner up was an eleven year old Tiffany Coward from New London, Texas. The young ones were in tune this year! Tiffany, I beleive, plays wa hoo pretty frequently from what I hear from her Mom. She and her friends get together and play. Plus, she lives next door to her Mammaw, and Mammaw is gonna play with someone regularly! Don't want to take up all your space here, just thought I'd update you on this years results. The "Most likely to make YOUR GAME LOOK GOOD, NEVERWONAGAME B4" trophy went to my cousin in from Humble, Texas, Kevin Chapman. He gave a nice acceptance speech, said he had worked hard for it. Funny how some folks win all the time til they come to the competition, then lose continually! Haha. Well, let ya go, Chuck, keep up the good work. Wa-HOO !!! Thanks again....

Thanks for the rules. Grandmothers and Wahoo seem to go together. I remember playing he game with my grandmother, and now that I'm a grandmother - I'm playing it with my grandchildren. It's nice to know where I can get another board when I need one.

We were introduced to Wahoo during a small dinner party on Christmas Eve and met with the group right before New Years holidays on a live on yacht to play with two boards. Talk about the laughing and name calling. I went the next couple of days later and bought the game for our private use. I hope to show our adult kids how to play soon. We will keep this game a long time!

I have an original board but had lost the rules for the game over the years. My grandkids love playing WaHoo as much as my husband & I did but I was never real sure about the rules. I was thrilled to find your website!

I played Wa Hoo as I was growing up and I was shocked to find the one and only web site for the game. My mother was wanting to buy Wa Hoo for my nine year old nephew and she went to every store in town trying to find it, with no success. I told her I would look on the web, that surely there would be something on there. Low and behold-there you were. I was extrememly impressed that a listing of stores who carried Wa Hoo was listed. Thank you. You made finding one of the best games easy to find. You also allowed for my nephew to experience the memories that we have as small kids playing Wa Hoo. Thanks so much for keeping Wa Hoo alive! Sincerely, Dana Knox-Garland,TX

I was so happy to find this site. I have been looking forever for the rules for Wahoo for my mom. I printed them out and have sent them to her. I grew up in Houston Texas and our neighbor introduced us to the game. We used to play for hours you have a copy of our orginal board on your page here. My husband made us a board a few years back but we have the hardest time finding solid colored marbles for it. I am glad to know there is somewhere I can order from now I am sure I will be ordering a board soon.

I was so surprised to read the article about you in the San Diego Union. I always thought that Wa Hoo Boards were home made. The disign & rules passed from one person to another. I had never seen a store bought version. I did not read the article close enough (due to my age) and went through hours of web searching and was about to call the May Ken Sanders to ask him to help when my husband came in and pointed out that I was looking for the wrong thing. You certainly are not listed in any telephone book anywhere. I am afraid to read the rules or at least let the grandchildren see them in case I have slanted them to my favor. I brought the tradition and home made board from Amarillo. I hope you aren't going to get me for patent infrigements. We always had a board in the car for hassle free driving with 7 children and the 15 grandchildren. I am looking forward to having my real board arrive soon. Mary Alice Taylor matnlt@sciti.com

I am a native of Fort Worth. My sister and I grew up playing Wahoo with each other and friends who visited. It was always one of my favorite games. I now live in Oklahoma with my wife and two children. When we go back to Fort Worth to visit grandparents, Wahoo is one of the first things my kids get out to play with. They love it! Imagine it is one of their favorites, and it doesn't require batteries, or any other electronic game part. My parents sent us the article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about Wahoo. We decided that it would definitely have to be on this year's Christmas gift. Thanks so much for continuing to make this special game.

I was so happy to see the article about you and your company in the San Diego Union on 10/28. My family must have played hundreds of games of Wahoo in the late 40's and 50's. We lived in Alhambra, California (about six miles from Los Angeles). The board we had resembled the first one shown in your display. It had the same Indian cartoon pictures but had a plain brown background. I notice that the board we played on had more holes than the later models. I remember that if you rolled a six when at the start position it took you to an arrow just before the first corner (like the first board on your site). There were also 6 holes in the teepee or wigwam. I've sent you an order for your game and look forward to introducing my family and friends to Wahoo. Thanks for making this game possible again.

Chuck, I've been meaning to write to you for a long time. I have told lot's of folks about you, but couldn't beleive it when I looked in today, and noticed someone had told you about me. As most of your other stories go, mine would also have Grandma involved. Grandma died in 1977, but before she did, she played many games of Wa-Hoo! I used to go to her house to mow her yard, and when I knocked on the door to let her know I was there, she often would say she was playing wa-hoo. When I would ask who she was playing with, most of the time her answer was, "me, myself, & Mary Alice." Her name was Mary ALice Nash Chapman, and if she were at home alone, that didn't stop her from a good game of Wa-Hoo! She would just play against herself. Anyone that knew her knew she loved Wa-hoo! In 1996, I came up with the idea of an Annual Wa-hoo competition in her memory, mentioned it to some of the family, some thought is was a good idea, and I'm not sure about the rest, but in 1997, we had the "First Annual Grandma Chapman Wa-Hoo Competition," and it's been going ever since. I couldn't beleive it when I read Mary Ellen's letter today! That's really neat for her to mention it. Our Competition was covered by the Longview News this past year. (Over a page in Sunday edition, with color pictures)They said it was a family reunion, but it really isn't. There are as many there that are not Chapmans. We have a time! Folks have come from as far as North Carolina and Springfield, Mo. We have given trophy's for Oldest Grandma, Person traveling the farthest, Youngest player, etc. Of course we always give a trophy for the most games won, and the winner always gets their choice of any board there. I bought one of your boards a long time ago, and it's never been used, I put it on display, along side some older ones, just to prove that "You can get a store bought one". I have made well over a hundred boards. They are really neat! Plywood usually, with plenty of sanding and paint, varnish, etc. Oh! By the way! I REALY enjoyed the article on you in the Star Telegram a couple of days ago! Keep up the good work, Chuck. And WAHOOOOOOOO!!!!

I regreatfully can say I never heard of Wahoo til I met my husband and his family. I played the game with him and his family and enjoyed it. My 7 year old son loves to play Wahoo. I would like to start a new family game with Wahoo and pass it to my grandchildren being that I was not able to grow up with Wahoo as a childhood game. Thank You for this great game, whoever invented this game. Elisa P McLerran

I thought that I would share my Wa-hoo story with you since I enjoyed reading yours so much. My grandmother loved games of all kinds and taught this love of playing games to me while I was growing up. I was an only child growing up in Pampa, Texas in the 60's. I spent alot of time at my grandparents house and me and my Grandmother would play Wa-hoo for hours. She died in 1986 and I told my Dad that all I wanted was her Wa-hoo board and her box of marbles and dice. I have 2 daughters that are 20 and 16 and they have grown up playing Wa-hoo on 'Maw-Maw's' board, and also by her rules, which just recently I realized aren't the exact Wa-hoo rules. Our family just bought a vacation condo on the beach near Corpus Christi, Texas and my girls begged me to take the Wa-hoo board down there so we would be able to play on rainy days. The sentimental value of that board is so strong that I hate transporting it and would never leave it down there. That is why I surfed the net and found your sight, so I could buy a Wa-hoo board to keep down there. Thanks for helping teach a new generation of kids about Wa-hoo.

The absolute greatest memory of my childhood was playing WAHOO with Grandma & PawPaw! We would sit at that kitchen table all night playing this wonderful fun game. PawPaw and his red marbles and red dice... Grandma's color didn't matter but my color was blue. We burned the midnight oil and laughed and played WAHOO all night. I was so delighted to find this website. It not only stirred up great memories of great times with the grandparents but plum put me in the mood for another game. Looks like I'll just have to buy a board from you. I'll be back shortly.......

This is so amazing. I had no idea that so many people knew about WaHoo! My brother and I would spend some of the summertime with my granparents in Seymour, Texas, a very small Texas town. This is where we learned of WaHoo. Our grandparents would play with another couple, L.D. and Izella, who lived on a working farm outside of Seymour. Well, L.D. would let me roll for him because I could roll sixes like you wouldn't believe! Nobody minded because it was all for fun! At my grandparents house me and my grandaddy ended up playing WaHoo together for many years to come. Well, my brother has since passed at an early age of 36 due to terminal illness in 1990, my granny died in 1998 at the age of 91 and my grandaddy died at the age of 93 in the year 2000. Also, the couple L.D. and Izella passed away together in a single car accident around 1996 as they were driving to a nearby town to get their prescriptions refilled. L.D. lost control of their car while trying to make a curve on a gravel road and ended up-side-down in an irrigation ditch. My grandaddy was the last to go and we did play WaHoo one last time at some point and he gave me the WaHoo board to take home to Houston. SO, as you can imagine, this little board game means so much to me and holds many bitter-sweet memories for me. I had found another WaHoo game at a retail store once but it was not made like the original board with wood. It was just a regular board game. The maker was "Pressman". I had called the company when looking for the game again last year and they said they didn't make it anymore. Then, my husband and I got some new neighbors last year, Robin and Bill, who had a father that was great with woodwork and could make anything! Well, one day I asked the father if he could make a WaHoo board for me and Robin said, "hey! I have one of those at the top of my closet at my mom and dads house! My grandmother and I used to play it when I was little!" Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather! The next weekend she went to her moms' and brought the board home. I thought she was going to give it to me (ours is worn out) but she felt the same as I did---too many memories and she couldn't give it up. a couple of weekends later she and he husband and her parents stopped by an estate sale they passed by and she could not believe it...there was a WaHoo board there for $3!!! She was so excited and bought i for me. When they returned from their day they asked me to come over to see what "goodies" they found on their little trip. They had me look in a box at all their "finds" and then after doing so, Bill said, "Robin, did you show Mary everything in the box?" Robin said yes. Then Bill said, "how about under the box?" They had some newspaper under the box and I immediately lifted the box and the newspaper and there was the WaHoo board! Well, I was soooo excited, squealed like a kid and even got teary-eyed. Their joy was evident, too, knowing they made me so happy. This was only a couple of weeks ago and I have been looking everywhere for the original-type marbles for their game board, I still have mine. Then 2 days ago, Robin found this website and we are in "hog heaven"! Just last night, we four (Robin, Bill, my husband and myself) got together for hot dogs on their grill and then over to our house for homemade ice cream (which the making of has been passed on to me by my father) and WaHoo!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a lot of fun. We have also taught my husbands granddaughters (10 and 11 yrs old) to play, and they love it! And....a few weeks ago my husband was reading the Sunday paper and ran across an article entitled "Wa-Hoo tradition is all aboveboard". It is from Longview, Texas, where a family tradition is being carried on where the family have an annual "Grandma Chapman WaHoo" contest every May. I got in touch with them because I first of all, was so excited and thrilled to know other people play and still play WaHoo! Also, i was wanting to know if they could make me board and sell it to me because in the article they say that one of the men on their family makes them for their contests, Even the tables they play on are made as a WaHoo board! But, he does not seel them. They did invite me to some and play at their annual contest and said that sometimes the man will give one away as a gift or prize. I will call them and let them know this website exists. The man may want to buy one (some) from you guys. I'm sure he might like to know he doesn't "have" to make them anymore if he doesn't want to. Well, I know this is most likely and most assuredly the longest WaHoo story you've ever received...and I do apologize. But, i really think this was something that this all has come about and how it did. I am wondering if my little grandaddy, whom I loved so much, is letting me know that he is still around and what better to way to let me know than through a sweet bond of a game called WaHoo.

My whole family used to play Wa hoo when we went to my grandmother's house. My dad made us a board for us to play at our house. Now at a recent family reunion the host of the reunion made everyone boards to take home as a momento. There was a dispute as to the rules. One family member said that if you rolled a four(4) you moved back not forward. We were not sure if this was actually a rule or if it had become sort of a "house rule". Have you ever heard of this?

I use to play this game when I was growing up in TX. I ask my husband and stepson if they had ever played it and they thought I had lost my mind. They had never heard of the game. And I had to prove to them that the game was real. So I looked on the internet until I found this site and proved to them that it real existed. My stepson said that since I was from TX. it had to be a TX game. Because he had never heard of it. And I was real excited to find this site because I have looked for a Wa hoo board for a long time and now I have finally been able to order me one. I can't wait to received my board and begin playing again like I did in my childhood.

I never knew this game was mass produced. My two sisters and I play wa hoo every friday night. We let the husbands and kids play too. Many times we have three or four homemade boards going. Our dad always made our boards, but now that he is gone we need to get boards for the kids to have. Several are in or going away to college. Thank you for suppling us with much needed competitor to the current pc/video world.

As a child, I used to play WaHoo with a neighbor woman. She was an older woman, who all of her children were grown, and no longer at home. She was like a grandmother to me. I was at an antique show this weekend, and I purchased a vintage WaHoo game. The neighbor woman passed away last year at the age of 99. I will always have fond memories playing WaHoo with her.

I forgot to mention that we also played a game called Murder which was painted on the back of the wahoo board and we used poker chips as our pawns. Same rules, except that anytime you passed or jumped anyone else, they had to leave the board and start all over with a one or a six. Have you ever heard of this game?

Our family has enjoyed this game for many years, but I don't think we ever knew there was a "fancy" board. Ours was just a home-made one that serves the purpose fine. And it isn't too different from the original.NEAT!! I may have to buy one just for the nostalgia! Thanks for the website.

My family has played this game for as long as I can remember. That has probably been about 40 years. My grandfather when he was still with us used to delight in "killing" one of our marbles. We used to have the best times playing this game. I am estatic to find it again since our old board is falling apart. Thanks Chuck.

I can't believe WaHoo is coming back! I have a 17 year old daughter and she and friends play this all the time. When she came home and told me what they were playing, I drug out my old WaHoo board I got from "Santa" when I was 8 years old (I am now 41!). She was awed! Now all her friends envy her for having such an awesome "WaHoo" board! I have referred several of her friends to your site, so I am sure you will be hearing from them. In fact, my daughter is taking count of how many boards to order for her friends! Thanks for having a great game and site! I'm sure th game will be enjoyed for many more generations! I know it brought my family a great amount of entertainment and fun!

I love to play Wahoo. My partner, Janet, and I play against our husbands. The men constantly cheat, try to keep our dice from rolling 6's and 1's and tell us we can't win. Janet and I have been the champs for several years. We even keep a yearly written record of our winnings. Wahoo is a great game.

My wife and I met playing WAHOO with some of other co-workers at our lunch hour. We enjoyed the game and used to play with our children. We have been married now 25 years but have lost the original game. For years we have tried to locate another one; I mentioned it to my daughter one evening and the next day she told me how she had found your site on the internet. So glad she did. Cant wait till I get my game. Thanks again.

I stumbled across Wahoo on the internet while looking for some board games with a language component for use in my English conversation classes in Japan. Although Wahoo doesn't absolutely *require* the use of language during play, I thought it would be a fun slice of Americana over here when in-laws or Japanese friends visited, and it would also be a good way to bridge the language gap in a fun way when foreign friends visited who could not speak much Japanese. I took my Wahoo boards out over New Year's two years ago when Japanese in-laws were visiting, and my young Japanese nieces and nephews got so engrossed in the game that they didn't want to quit playing when it was time to go. Their parents asked, a bit sheepishly, if they could take one of the boards home so the kids could finish their game! I only let them take one home as I had a second Wahoo board on hand!! The other relatives continued to play on the second board as they came and went over the holiday (New Year's is like Christmas in the US with relatives visiting each other and special dishes of food cooked and eaten). Wahoo has now become an expected part of New Year's at my house here in Japan. The Japanese in-laws all look forward to playing and ask for the Wahoo boards if I do not bring them out. They are also lots of fun at summer BBQ parties which have sometimes become cross cultural, International exchanges at my house with people from Australia, New Zealand, England, Canada, Japan and the US all together. Wahoo tournaments have started with the two boards and even the onlookers get engrossed. The rules are quick to learn and the intergenerational play and cross family interaction that happens is a lot of fun to see. And, yes, there are sibling fights that happen, but no one holds a grudge for long and they always come back for more! It's a great game, good social mixer, but be forewarned; you may want to have more than one board on hand!!

Most of our family lives in Oklahoma and they started us on this game close to 30 years ago. My board is worn and the rules are no where to be found. I have been trying to find a new game since last year. Today a toy store and Dallas suggested that I try the internet and I found you. My family will be so EXCITED!!!!!! No more arguing over the rules.
