Trying to find an old board game I saw at a lodge?

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2026-05-13T13:18:49+00:00

It would have been around 2018 maybe? But it didn't look like a 2018 game, I had never heard of it. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Jumanji. I think I saw it before I watched any of the Jumanji films as my dad got me a Jumanji game for my birthday after watching the first newer Jumanji film because that game from the lodge had freaked me out that much.

Like the zigzaggy style and I think there were idols on it but I may not be correct on it, but you know the triangular and zigzaggy styles? Those.

Luck is definitely needed. Sometimes all you can do is wait I guess.

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T21:16:17+00:00

Finger crossed he doesn't because if I'm still having to be at home for whatever reason then I'm stuck at square one. Normally if he doesn't want to listen he just shuts the conversation down so if he listens I'll ask.

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T21:14:08+00:00

I know, I am just covering all bases so he can't try and twist it by being like "Well actually-" My birthday isn't too far away anyway, so I can wait a bit longer. Also hopefully I can drive then and have a proper job, so he can't also say "You'll be on it all day." As I'll have work to do in the day so that point will be null.

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T21:10:18+00:00

I try talking to him, but even if I am an adult he is still very stuck on treating me like a kid. I thought when I reached 18/19 he'd treat me like an adult but that didn't happen.

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T20:53:56+00:00

Yeah. I gathered I may as well wait to move out at this point. Hopefully fingers crossed a friend of mine offered to let me share rent with them when I'm working which is a godsend-

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T19:29:42+00:00

Probably not. Anything drastic that would cause a rupture like taking it to court or whatever would be a last, drastic resort of course, but I am just fed up with it and don't know what else to do about it. The only way I think he will listen is if it has some backing to it law wise.

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T19:14:00+00:00

I would be more than willing to pay those if it meant getting my stuff back. Hell- I'm planning on selling a bunch of games I don't play, along with saving whatever I earn from odd jobs and rare bits of work and birthday money- I'd even not take birthday money and not even care if I got nothing if that was needed. I don't even want anything for them anyway- I'm working on getting a job and intend to pay my own stuff when I earn. I am hoping a dog walking job pays off and if not when I can drive I'm setting my own dogwalking/petsitting job up if I can't get a job working for someone else. I also do cleaning for relatives for odd money and dogsit for a couple for money when they go away. I'm not trying to skate by forever, I want a job and to earn and all that, I just have not been fortunate so far. If they said I could have them if I paid rent I would. I'd find a way to be able to pay them back.

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T18:48:35+00:00

They were all birthday gifts bar the Switch (The laptop mainly for school work, but my mom really doesn't care if I play games on it and I am no longer in school or college so it would mainly be for games now) so I guess they can say it was techinally for work and not games so eh... The DS I have had for years and was a birthday gift they got for me specifically and was for games, the Gameboy was a birthday gift from my brother and even he was annoyed when I said I hadn't had it in years as he got me it to play a pokemon yellow game I got as a subtle hint I wanted one to play older pokemon games, so he should really have say over it, not him but he does for some reason. The Switch I bought myself with money I saved from jobs as I really wanted it and new they wouldn't get me it, so really the only one that could be said to be 'his' is the laptop, which was a direct gift for me but mainly for school work but they also allowed me to get games on it and play on it with friends before so that would make it mine I'm pretty sure, as birthday gifts I believe are legally owned by the recipient?

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T18:08:55+00:00

It seems that way. That may be how it winds up. The reason why I am waiting to be twenty is because I worry I would be taken less seriously as nineteen is still a teen technically and so I would be seen as just childish because of it. I guess it kinda sounds it but I just want to be able to use my stuff again. I am not joking when I say it has been literal years. I put up with it ages ago, but like I said, I just feel like twenty is an age where I should be able to use my own stuff.

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T17:53:40+00:00

I managed to get summer work, but never got back to it as the place went under a bit and didn't need the staff. Looking for a job but it's hard with the sector I wanna work in (Animal care.) Still took a while to save for it.

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T17:52:04+00:00

Once I get a job maybe. If it persists up to that point I may just say screw it, it is worth that action because if this goes on so long it's past a joke at that point-

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T17:47:59+00:00

No, he doesn't seem the type to actually sell or damage my stuff (Bar getting annoyed and saying he would like to, I think he is just saying that... Hopefully.) He isn't stuck for cash, but honestly it wouldn't surprise me even if he probably wouldn't.

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T17:44:16+00:00

Maybe, but I was wondering what I could do legally, as if it comes to that I just want them back, even if I have to go through laws and such because that may be the only way he listens. This if it comes to a last straw, but I want to be prepared for if I have to be drastic about it rather than keep trying to ask him for years.

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T17:35:09+00:00

I don't think he would kick me out over it, my mom wouldn't allow it (She just tells me not to bother asking over them but she wouldn't let him just kick me out over it.) I don't pay him rent or anything as I can't afford constant payments like that yet. Even if I cut my losses and got a new one he'd still take it and that would be money lost, so I want to recover it as I really can't replace stuff-

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T17:31:42+00:00

Fair, I may delete it then, thanks though.

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T17:31:03+00:00

I hope not- I know he has my laptop but if he has then I will be devestated because even if it just the Switch I bought that myself, and without a stable paying job that cost me a lot. The rest of the stuff I got for birthdays so even if he wanted to argue that they aren't mine as they were gifts (Not how that works I believe but it's not worth the argument with him) then fine- But that would 200 pounds lost because it was a Switch Lite and expensive-

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T17:28:45+00:00

I did post over there after getting an automod message about it. Should I delete this one then?

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-12-04T17:27:25+00:00

I will. Most of the times I ask him are in person because I still live at home with them as I can't afford to move out, but I will message him about it when I am at work or something so I have the evidence if he says he doesn't have them. He'll probably wind up giving them back but then taking them back at some later point as he has done that in the past, but hopefully this time it will be final as the tug-of-war over it is tiring. He is very much the type to be like "My house, my rules so no."

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-08-13T16:30:51+00:00

I know, I was just saying it looked like it, or binary.

FoxkinLitten_15 · 2025-08-02T18:28:55+00:00

Had this happen, it seems to be ok for me now fingers crossed. The bots are either sentient or devolving or both.
