The Intestine Game -Handmade Collage During a recent visit to a flea market I picked up what certainly must be the most peculiar(and I suspect not terribly popular) board game. Billed as "a full-filled ride through the gastrointestinal tract", the game resembles nothing so much as an unpleasant Snakes and Ladders. Whether one is unfortunate enough to draw a Constipation card (lose two turns) or lucky enough to earn a Roughage Run card (slide four squares ahead), the player is left feeling nothing so much as disturbed. As far as I can tell, the game was a misguided attempt to encourage children to eat more vegetables while at the same time avoiding fat rich foods. How it managed to see the light of day remains a mystery to me. |
