Folding colour game sheet, 53 x 69cm, repaired tear along one fold, left margin trimmed probably to detach the players pieces which are not present. Still a good copy. This baseball game sheet was published as a supplement to the January 1931 issue of Kokumin Shinbun. Designed as a family entertainment for new year holiday, the game is played with 2 dice by 2 to 4 players on two sides, batter and defence. Movements of batter and defender are assigned for total number of 2 dice. For example, when a player gets 3, (1 and 2 with 2 dice), a batter advances to the second base as well as having another turn with the dice. A defence player is able to oust a batter with number 11. Baseball games were very popular in Japan, particularly among young boys around the 1930s. Seller Inventory # 177623

Terms of Sale:

Postage is extra at cost. We are pleased to accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Paypal.

Shipping Terms:

The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
