Don't miss your chance to own this timeless piece of gaming history. So, you really have to understand what 3M was trying to accomplish with their Bookshelf games in the late 60s, early 70s. First off, they knew that most board games were stacked on top of each other. A marketing genius suggested, “what if the box was like a book and it would be on the family’s bookshelf and as they entertained, a discussion could happen?” This gave us Stocks And Bonds, Executive Decision, Image… Oh Wah Ree. If you look at the marketing strategy for this particular game, it was marketed to women. One of the first unisex strategy games marketed towards women. Plus, if you look at how the instructions are written, they aren’t written like monopoly or risk. It’s a 13 page strategy guide for someone who, in 1962, was trying to get an equal seat. So. Like my other 3M bookshelf games that I have posted, this one is not for a mancala fan. It’s for a strong person who has their library background lit up on Teams or has and actual office in the real world with books. The conversation about this game is about how the people in the 60’s started to demand equality and show how there’s no difference in brains. Of course I know that no one ever reads the descriptions, at least that what the YouTubers say. But I’m firm on what this game means to gaming history. Oh. Missing one yellow marble. Get some lemon heads before you play. Problem solved. :)
