Giganten , also named as "Dinosaures Giganti" is a 2-player board game designed by Herbert Pinthus and first published in 1981 by Carlit. Gameplay is inspired by another game "Stratego" and created in prehistoric setting. There were two editions. Small edition, added variable terrain (land, swamp, lakes). Lakes were not terrain but obstacles. Large edition: added variable board consisting of 4 parts and added 2 more dinosaurs. The large won the Essen Feather-prize (prize for the best rules) in 1983. Each player has a set of 23 saurians (dinosaurs of various kinds, pterodactyls, plesiosaurs, etc) which are stand-up cardboard pieces with plain backs, so the opponent cannot tell which piece is which. Pieces move and attack each other Stratego-fashion, with the goal being to find your opponent's eggs. Pieces have numbers to indicate their strength.

Girl Talk is a board game first sold in 1988. The game was invented by Catherine Rondeau. It was a popular/staple game for teenage girls throughout the 1990s. It was similar to the parlour game Truth or Dare. Girl Talk was one of a rash of "teenage girl-themed games" that appeared on the market in the 1980s and 1990s in which boys, talking on the phone, dancing, having parties and sleepovers, and other "girl-ish" concerns are central themes. The game comes with an opaque spinner with a hole in it, and multiple exchangeable cardboard circles which can be placed into the spinner. The spinner would land on either a question or a "dare". Each action (or question) is worth a certain number of points. If a player does not perform the action or answer a question they must wear a "zit sticker" for the rest of the game. Players may use their points to buy one of four kinds of fortune cards; the first to collect one of all four types is the winner.
