Greetings!

I was glad to find that this blog has reached it's 1001st visitor today!

In terms of online traffic, that may not be very significant, but in terms of effort, it is very rewarding.

As you may be aware, I keep this blog out of interest in board games. Sometimes I lapse, as I have other websites to look after, but that does not mean this is less important at all.

I want to thank you for visiting, and encourage you to spread the word that this blog exists. Your referrals and links will be appreciated.



Yours in Fun,


Jeff

Spy Board Games: The Man From U.N.C.L.E Game

Greetings!

What do board games and spies have in common? Well, there is a number of spy-themed board games out there, and I started looking at a couple this weekend. One of them was based on a 1960s American TV show called "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.".

If you're an X-generation person, or even a baby boomer, you'll remember the TV series. It was a reflection of the Cold War political tension at the time.

Actually, I found a couple of games based on this TV show. The first one is called "The Man From U.N.C.L.E Game", and it was manufactured by Ideal Novelty & Toy Co back in 1965.

Thanks to Billy, from www.BillyGalaxy.com (a new window will open), for giving me permission to use his pictures of the game:






The game used to come with 2 dice, 4 coloured U.N.C.L.E. agent tokes, 18 U.N.C.L.E. assignment cards, 28 green Thrush tokens, and game inserts.

The second game is a card game manufactured by Milton Bradley at about the same time (1965). This one can get you between $5 to $30 USD depending on the condition, demand and availability.

These are pictures of the Card Game:





Yours in Fun,


Jeff
