Over The Alps társasjáték

Angol leírás

Over The Alps board game was made in England as part of the Glevum Series in around 1930s. As the title suggests – it has a mountaineering theme, which is highlighted by the image on the box lid.

It is a simple race game, played with dice and counters. But what makes it more attractive is that the board – which is stored folded in the box needs to be stood up inside the box base to form a mountain. You start at the bottom of one side and the first person to reach 100 is the winner. You go up one side and then down the other. Instead of ‘squares’ on a regular board this one has numbered holes. The reason for this is that the counters slot into those holes. There are four 1½” high metal climbers. They actually look as if they are Boy Scouts. The figures are identical except that their shorts are different colours. They are red, yellow, green and blue.
