No. 15879/38. World Copyright Patents applied for." "An Original Table card Game played with An Original Series of Cards, An Original Type and lay-out of Board and Original Rules and Methods." The board has 64 squares or milestones with period illustrations. Follow the lives of people from the 1930s. Move round the board from birth, through childhood, schooldays, University, employment and marriage. The first player to reach retirement (64), wins.

The cards are dealt first and the player with the stork starts first by throwing the dice. Each board space has a corresponding card. If you have that card, repeat your turn. If not, you may choose one opponent who must give it to you if they have it. You then repeat your turn and continue until you miss the corresponding card. Play passes to the left. The next player requests the stork card and continues.

Play singly until marriage then each partner throws the dice individually but moves the pieces together.

Much care and attention has gone into the production of this game. High quality materials are used for the board, cards, playing pieces and rules booklet.

A beautiful and rare game.
