Another piece of sixties Thunderbirds memoribililia - The board game by Waddington's.
Not being a board game fan I've never played it but from what I can gather the idea is to out smart the Hood.
I do like the box artwork though and the tiny Thunderbird craft playing pieces.
Great board game. I love the plassy counters. And the black and white drawing on the instructions reminds me of Derek Meddings' original. And Waddingtons, they were based in Leeds, not too far from Moonbase. Sadly long gone, First Direct bank is on the site now.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Scoop. Looking also forward to the brand new Thunderbirds board game which was a phenomenal success with well over 3000 backers and +£200K cume, which enabled numerous upgrades to the basic game.
