I picked up a handheld version [1] for like $10 on sale and was surprised that it was actually an excellent rendition. Then I also picked up a card game [2] at a thrift store and it was one of the worst games I have ever attempted to play, literally unwinnable. Oddly the reviews are good, which definitely makes me doubt reviews. (Exploding Kittens also gets great reviews and every game of theirs that I've played is terrible... clearly I need to stop being so credulous) [1] https://www.amazon.com/The-Oregon-Trail-Handheld-Game/dp/B07B61BFSW https://www.amazon.com/The-Oregon-Trail-Handheld-Game/dp/B07...

The card game has pretty low marks on Board Game Geek, so you’re not the only one: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/205322/oregon-trail-card-game https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/205322/oregon-trail-card...

My girlfriend just picked up the Carmen Sandiego one for around US$ 13 at HomeGoods Store, they are selling for $40+ on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Fun-Sandiego-Handheld-Electronic/dp/B07PRYTWPP/ref=sr_1_1 https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Fun-Sandiego-Handheld-Electroni... I really want to take it apart and see what's inside it, but it works great and I don't want to mess it up.
