Description: A rare limited edition Petropolis board game, designed by "Baron" Arnaud De Rosnay, circa 1975 in black leather attache case. Price on issue was almost $800! "In oil we trust" In overall good condition, the leather case is in very good condition, the interior plastic tray has cracked (which is typical of this type of plastic and its age), the concession/country cards have begun to fade, the calculator is missing, see photos. Contents:1 leather attache with game board on the inside27 concession/country title cards25 telex messages5 Memo cards7 playing markers2 dice and cupFelt insert34 silver plated derricks14 gold plated oil platforms100s of petrodollar bills.2 manuals/brochuresThis "roll the die and move" game is strongly reminiscent of Monopoly, with petrol-producing countries replacing the streets, telex messages replacing "Chance" cards, and oil platforms and derricks replacing houses and hotels. Visually, it is a stunning game, with beautifully crafted components. If you are not familiar with this game, I would recommend an online search, as you will see many interesting articles about the game and the designer. Hugh Hefner owned a version of this game, with his initials monogramed on the numbered case. I have kept the shipping costs low, but this will be a large heavy package.
