Last time we looked at this set (ten years ago!) I
suggested an Elephant was the missing animal, and I'm pleased to say it was! I
also said if I got a better one, I'd swap box lids, but I didn't, I got a worse
one, however it did fit the new A3 scanner so . . . swings and roundabouts!
Figures first, and the immediate question
is - was the previously seen set home-painted? I suspect not; this game probably
ran for a few years and like a lot of people at the time (Britains, Crescent,
Lone Star), painting was seen as a quick money-saver and got dropped at some
point?
So now 'Ivorene' flats, in a creamy-white,
the dark spots are the anchor-points of embedded metal plates on the underside
of the base, used for magnetic manipulation!
The cage you are trying to drag the animals to, if
you are the horrid player (nice players [Tarzan] are trying to save them) with
a hidden wand, it's half Driving School and half Answer Robot (both also Merit
games as some point), missing it's door/gate last time, when I unpack I will
save this board and the older box!
I will also have to carefully transfer the
older pull-ring, and it will have to be careful, as this one was complete until
I touched it, whereupon it fell into three pieces and I have to assume the
other will be equally age-brittled?
The magnetic arm with which you locate,
capture and drag the poor animals by any-which-way (even tail-first) possible, back to the
cage!
Scanned lid; a bit tatty, but higher
resolution/detail than last time!
Rules, also scanned as a high-res' for
those who need to know how it ends!
