All pieces have been carefully counted and all are present – listing photos show all game components included for reference. The box and some game contents show various signs of age-related wear and other flaws – vintage smell present on the box, box interior and all game components. The board game box shows moderate to significant fading, age-related discoloration, various stains (see multiple stained areas / brownish discoloration across the game title text on the top and on back), as well as loss of original finish along the box edges. The top lid shows slight ripples across the entirety of the front (likely from moisture exposure) and a small crease extending from the bottom left-hand corner. Corner and edge wear present – light scuffs and loss of finish particularly pronounced in these areas. The instruction booklet is good condition with a few stains present on some pages. The card sheets are in good condition – the unfinished backs show age-related yellowing. The small size cards (Trade Cards) show discoloration (yellowing) and occasional small stains, corner and edge wear (predominantly edge nicks) with some showing more pronounced warping and edge dents, ripples and resulting creases. Overall all are very much playable. The game board shows a variety of brown stains present on all back panels – I believe these to be left from some sort of insert. I’ve cleaned these areas briefly however some slight remnants of the source may remain. I’ve found one similar brown stain on the front of the game board (see close-up photo). Portions of the game board also show some ripples / or even textures, corner and edge wear visible. Box interiors are good with light discoloration present, box integrity is intact. Although not shown in the listing photos, the exposed portion of the bottom lid shows heavy dark discoloration extending approx. 1/2" - 1" up the side of the box, some additional darker stains visible here as well. As mentioned above, all portions of the box and game components have a vintage smell to them. Please see all photos and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
