The Game of Life Savers társasjáték

Angol leírás

The Game of Life Savers is an Australian board game promoting the Life Savers sweets first invented in the USA in 1912. In 1922 the sweet was introduced into Australia and by 1925 a takeover consortium of other Australian confectionery manufacturers created a new publicly listed company called Life Savers (Australasia).

The game is a simple roll and move mechanism with a colorful 'under the sea' nautical theme that can be played in pairs. The board has 200 squares descending to the bottom of the sea. Players take a counter and move around the numbered squares on the throw of a dice. On certain squares dangerous fish appear and players must follow the instructions. Other squares have a flavored Life Saver sweet which can save a players partner from a dangerous fish or a player can move 9 spaces if there is no partner.

First pair or single player to reach the treasure ship at square 200 is the winner.

The game is recorded in the National Archives of Australia, first registered in July 1930 with the author being a Colin McAlister trading as the McAlister Publicity Company.
