It involved shipping and the furthest port and most difficult to reach was Mumansk. The easiest was Dutch Harbor. I was vet young during the war 5-9 yrs old. My husbands father was a merchant mariner at that time and he has never heard of it. Does anyone remember it?

The game was played with three dice. Center piece for the game was a small glass football that looked like it was on a tee.. I am interested in purchasing.

I am having trouble finding a complete game (used is obviously fine). Any advise or assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for you help.
Kindest Regards,

There was a game board of the U.S. with cities I think connected by railroad. The object was to capture the criminal you were looking for based on the clues in a card. All I left of the game is one card, approx 3″ by 6″. This card is of Baby Face Malone who is wanted for murder of Lucy Bates on Feb. 25, 1935 in Wheeling W. Va.
It tells where he lived and that he was last seen near the freight yards and where the trains were going. Does anyone know anything about this or where I may find any info?
