If you're looking for a new toy to play with, you might want to check out this Ouija Board for sale. When we say "ooh-ee-juh" we mean it! The Ouija Board is a type of board game that has been played for over two hundred years and has had many different incarnations in that time. Originally from France, the game was popularized by Charles Kennard's invention of the talking boards marketed under the name "Ouija" in 1890. Since then, many different versions of the Ouija Board have come and gone including the familiar and mysterious talking boards in use today.
The basic concept of using a board with numbers and letters
to communicate with spirits has not changed. The game consists of a flat board
marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers zero through nine, the
words "yes", "no" and "goodbye", plus the words
"hello" (or sometimes "hi"), "move" (or move on
or any other synonym), and "goodbye". The board is often decorated
with a simple pattern, usually lines or concentric circles.
The modern version consists of a heart-shaped piece of wood
or plastic called a planchette which moves about a board making sounds as
participants ask questions and spell out words. A candle or small flashlight is
placed in the center to facilitate the movement of the planchette. Sometimes a
bell or other instrument is added to create musical accompaniment to the game.
The original version of a Ouija Board was composed of two
boards, horizontal and vertical. The horizontal board had alphabetical letters
assigned and each letter was associated with a corresponding number. When a
letter was spelled out, its associated number would be placed on a
corresponding location on the vertical board. Each player would take turns
placing their fingers on the planchette, spelling out words and numbers one by
one.
The Ouija Board became extremely popular in America after
Kennard received a patent for his invention in 1891. It was also in the late
nineteenth century that Kennard began to claim that his talking boards were
possessed by the spirits of deceased Napoleonic soldiers. The Ouija Board's popularity
began to decline in the 1920s and 1930s, as many people claimed that they were
being contacted by spirits through their use of the board. This led to a wave
of public hysteria demanding the game be banned.
In 1966, Parker Brothers began marketing an all-new version
known as the "Ouija Board for sale" which swept its way across
America and quickly became a favorite toy for children. These new boards were
much easier to use since they consisted of a heart-shaped board with only
numbers around its edge and letters at each corner.
As you can see, there are plenty of different types of ouija
boards available. So where do you find one for sale? Choices include random
stores, websites, or even eBay. The best place to find a good deal would be on
eBay since they allow sellers from around the world to sell their products and
it's easy to search through their inventory. If you're not looking for a
specific type of ouija board and want to simply get what is cheapest, then
shopping at random stores like Walmart is your best option. On the other hand,
if you want all the information on a particular type of board before buying it
then most likely websites will be your preferred avenue.
One of the most important factors when you are purchasing an
ouija board is the overall condition of the board. If it is dirty or looks worn
then avoid it. Otherwise, if it has no damage, or minor scratches, then go for
it.
Also get familiar with what type of board you prefer since
there are numerous different types available on eBay alone including those that
are homemade and those that are store bought. There is no way around this: if
you want a particular ouija board then it's going to be a matter of personal
preference and you'll have to see what type of feel or experience you'd like
your results to have.
