Step into the world of strategic deduction with this vintage Black Box game, a fascinating and challenging title from Waddingtons House of Games Ltd, produced in 1977. This is a true mind-bending experience, designed to test your logical thinking and powers of deduction. It’s a science-themed game where you must uncover the hidden structure of an atom by strategically "firing" light rays and analyzing the clues you receive from their deflections and absorptions.
The game is a clever puzzle, rewarding cunning and a methodical approach. It’s a unique piece of gaming history and a wonderful find for collectors of vintage board games.
The game is housed in its original packaging, a thin card sleeve that shows its age and history. The sleeve has seen better days—it is creased, has small tears, and shows rubbing on the corners and edges, as well as general surface wear and marks. Despite this, it remains a charming part of the set, featuring a colour photograph of a couple engrossed in the game on the front and a synopsis on the back.
Inside, the game itself is protected by a sturdy plastic box with a black base and a transparent lid. While one corner of the lid has a small crack, the box has done its job well, protecting all the original components. You'll find all 32 coloured plastic game pieces and the five essential steel ball bearings, all accounted for and ready for play. The plastic score board is also included, as is the original paper instruction leaflet, which shows signs of being well-loved and handled frequently. A replacement dry board marker has also been included, so you can start playing immediately.
Don't miss the chance to own this classic vintage board game. It's a great piece for game nights, a unique addition to any collection, and a testament to the ingenuity of classic game design. Embark on a journey of logical discovery with Black Box!
