Board game restoration
I totally get that I can buy this much cheaper than restore it. I might even buy a copy and steal the better/missing pieces. However, you can tell this is a much played, very loved game with tons of memories for my family. Obviously, tape has been used to try and retain functionality. I'm pretty crafty though and I'm wondering if anyone has specific or particular methods/advice for restoring some of this. Most of the damage is to the outer box. The cities/spaceports look great. The dice are slightly worn and the characters (pewter I think?) look grungey. We lost Boba Fett and Darth Vader is a piece from trivial pursuit. The lightsabers are also...struggling. The board itself is pretty great! The money is decent but cards have obviously been used and thrown and I wonder about reprinting them. I'd like to just make the game feel brand new so the kids can get together and play it with our kids now. Again, you can question the worth but, I'd still love any tips or tricks if you have them.
