1965/2007 Il gioco delle favole (The Fable Game) by Enzo Mari. Mantua: Corraini. $37.50 at Unicahome, Las Vegas, NE, March, '08.

This latest edition seems identical with the Fourth Variant from 1985. Corraini did their first edition in 2004. This is their third impression from 2007. My, the price has gone up! And it keeps going up!

Abstract

Each of 16 fables has a brown-backed and a green-backed paper disc. In each case, half of a moral is on one and the other half on the other. The Hellé illustrations are such wonderful old friends! One starts by laying out all the cards face down. Then you start making matches as in any memory game. However it happens, this is fun!

Abstract

Here is an earlier -- but not the earliest -- version of a game listed below under "2000." This game was in 1979 the first "Spiel des Jahres" winner. Versions of the game have made these claims on their packaging: "The most Ingenious Race Game ever devised. Find out why when you play it! Designed to delight children! Guaranteed to baffle adults!"

Abstract

Here is an unopened race game with the cellophane wrap still intact. The bottom of the box announces proudly that in 1979, "Hare and Tortoise" was chosen as the first "Spiel des Jahres" winner. The hare on the cover features an earring, but so far back in his long ear that you might not notice it!

Abstract

Each stub has a notch that fits with the open space next to its fable. The stub also provides an extra clue in that the color of the extended portion matches only the color needed in the card’s notch. The “moral” comes at different places in the text of different fables. Well done! A great find!

Abstract

In these replicas of eighteenth-century wooden checkers, the black pieces may well illustrate the story of the stag whose antlers got caught in the trees. The "browns" certainly illustrate MSA. Notice the miller and son carrying the ass across the top of the piece. At the right, the two ride together, while onlookers on the left criticize them. "Esopus" marks both pieces.
