Alice in Wonderland társasjáték

Angol leírás

Part of Stoll & Edwards' "Two-Games-in-One" series, six games that each included a 16" x 16" board with a simple children's game on one side, usually involving familiar storybook characters, and a checkerboard on the other. Implements and rules were included for one game along with "a full set of checker men" (as a Stoll & Edwards catalog put it) for the other.

In this case, the "A" game is a simple spin-and-move race through the episodes of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), including the Pool of Tears, the Caucus Race, the Mad Tea Party, and the Queen's Croquet Grounds. Occasional hazard spaces actually tend toward rewarding players, but occasionally they can force players to move back a few spaces or lose one or two turns.

The original Stoll & Edwards edition has a game board printed in three colors (black, orange and green). In their next incarnation as Stoll & Einson, the publisher reissued the game a decade later under their "Playjoy" brand, with board art utilizing a wider variety of colors and some illustrations revised to more strongly resemble Sir John Tenniel's famous book illustrations.
