Cards are unpunched and in a still-sealed parts tray that sits to the side of the playing field that also contains dice and pawns. Does not include directions (unless they're buried in the same sealed inner box as the cards), and the playing field is punched. Box does not have any burst corners or rips, but still shows considerable wear including creasing, soiling, and paper loss. Box bears a 1969 copyright, and refers to "nearly 300" cards" (which would be accurate for the 1969 version), as opposed to the nearly 400 cards that are in the 1972 version. One of the visible cards, however, is Ken Brett, who was only in the 1972 version of the game. Research suggests that Milton Bradley just reprinted the 1969 box and packed it with the new player cards. While we have seen games with partial cards and unpunched cards come up for sale before, this is the first time we have seen a game with sealed, unpunched cards come up for auction. An unusual, possibly unique item for those who appreciate having something different.
