Pelle Svanslös Klättra och Kana társasjáték

Angol leírás

In this childrens game the idea is for the cats to be the first to reach the cream. The game is a straight snakes-and-ladders clone with slides replacing the snakes. This means roll and move, ladders bring you forward, slides bring you backwards.

6 playing pieces (cats from the comic)
1 wheel of movement

The game was issued in a time when the "Pelle Svanslös" comic was very popular in Sweden, the only national comic of the time that could challenge Disney. Most images in the game are signed Carl-Börje (real name Börje Nilsson, cartoonist and comic magazine editor), the cartoonist who drew the comic, and the whole game could probably be credited to him (given that there is no original gameplay).

The six playing pieces are pictures of main characters from the comic, Pelle Svanslös (the hero without tail), Maja Gräddnos (his girlfriend), Feta Trisse (fat and smart cat), Elaka Måns (mean main enemy of Pelle), Frida (the scatter-brained one) and one of the twins Bill and Bull (the funny and dumb duo, sort of like Dupont and Dupond). A few more characters show on the gameboard and on the cover: Tusse Batong (policeman), Gullan från Arkadien (another good-looking girl-cat) and Murre från Skogstibble (farm cat). There are also some anonymous extra cats on the game board. All pictures follow the comic style perfectly, certainly a main feature of the game at the time.
