Description

Fake Early Americana Snakes and Ladders style game depicting misrepresented stereotypical images of Blacks in the 30's. Reach the end space first by rolling a die and avoiding pitfall spaces.

There is evidence that this game is not an authentic piece of Black Americana, but instead a counterfeit facsimile. Please see the evidence in this thread: Darkies in the Melon Patch: Disquieting and Inconvenient
