Vintage 1978 Animal Town Board Game Save the Whales 100% COMPLETE!
This is the vintage 1978 Animal Town Save the Whales cooperative board game. It is 100% complete and all the pieces, cards, and board are in FANTASTIC condition! They look unplayed. The box does show shelf wear, there is bowing to the lid and a puncture near the top left corner, and some minor scuffing on the box edges. I have taken over 50 pictures so you can see all these details. (The video includes more pictures than are posted on the listing, including the inside of the box as well.) All pieces and the box are free from any smells, unlike most vintage games. It's so rare to find these in this good of condition! I have carefully sleeved all the cards, boarded and bagged the rule book and muslin bag, and wrapped all the pieces and game board to protect them during shipping so that they will arrive in the same condition. The rule book also gives a lot of information about each species of whale and conservation in "The Whale Story", very neat and educational. The illustrations are amazing and so colorful and bright!
For your reference, here are details about this game:
