Hollywood "Go" Game, 1954-1964
THF91860 / Hollywood "Go" Game, 1954-1964
01
Artifact Overview
The ancient game of "Go" originated in China. Parker Brothers produced this highly modified Hollywood version in the 1950s. Instead of capturing territory on the board as in the traditional game, players try to place five of their game pieces in a row. Others in the game attempt to do the same while simultaneously blocking those close to winning.
