Advertising sugoroku. Metabolin. - [Manguwa Shin Heiki Hatsumei Sugoroku].

Osaka, Metabolin [193-?]. Colour game on card 26x39cm with original folds; advertising on the back in red and blue. This came as a sort of envelope, folded twice with a paper seal holding it together, unfolding to show the game on the inside. Several tape repairs. ¶ Somewhere, sometime, I don't know when, someone decided that books, pictures, games and toys for tiny children should be simple to the point of idiocy, drably educative as socially prescribed, and starved of imagination. Our artist here has followed the simple line for a way but knew that the thing all toddlers are thrilled by is daring new inventions in weaponry.This was some sort of gift or premium from the makers of Metabolin, a vitamin B1 supplement, nothing to do with the steroid Metabolin. Maybe you got it after swallowing a hundred tablets.Naturally I can't find mention of another copy anywhere, not even in the Kitatama Pharmaceutical Association Mueum which has several games and paper toys.
