A replica of a board game from the Second World War period with a distinct Snakes and Ladders flavour, dodge the enemy shells and be the first to reach the target. For two to four players aged three to adult, open the box set which contains one dice, one fold out board and four primary coloured press-out card tokens of a bomber airplane. Two, three or four players each select a bomber, throws the dice and moves on accordingly. If the bomber arrives on the searchlight, it rises to the top of the beam and then continues as before. If the bomber arrives on a fighter plane or a shell-burst, it goes down as shown by the streaks of fire. The first player to reach the TARGET (a factory exploding in flames) wins the game. Board measures approximately 14" square, colour, and in box for safekeeping with nostalgic image of two children playing the game and a British bomber during a night raid.
