    My thought when I read it was more "at least it's only from 2 years ago". Normally with these Google Groups drivebys there's a serious chance the OP
    is dead by now...

    Very true. Even so, given the traffic in this group, the odds of the
    original poster ever seeing a reply are indistinguishable from zero.

    Check the date on the next post back: That wasn't just a necropost, it
    was a necropost of a necropost.

    Not available and not manufactured. I have one and made a version of it for my grown children. Changed the rules to suit today's economy and changed the board to make it last longer. My family bought this one in 1949.

    I have searched for many a nights to find the one you are talking about. WE had many a fun family nights playing that game when I was young and would love to find one. I see it but never one to buy. One was already sold for 149.00.Too rich for my blood
    but I might even consider it if I could find one.
