"This game is based on the epic journey in 1947 by Thor Heyerdahl and his crew from Callao, Peru, across the Pacific Ocean to the islands of Raroia in the Tuamotu Archipelago. Heyerdahl crossed the ocean on a replica of ancient balsa rafts, which he named 'Kon Tiki' in honour of the mythical Sun God of long ago. His object was to show that the South Sea Islands could have been populated by immigrants from the South American continent, crossing the vast Pacific in primitive rafts, more than a thousand years ago. In this he succeeded admirably, mainly through making good use of winds and currents and due to the excellent spirit of co-operation among the members of his crew" To win the game, players will try to collect as many duty cards as possible. The more they aquire of one series the higher their score. Comes with game board, 72 counters, four duty tiles, eight navigation certificates, 28 duty cards, the cash tray and the Kon Tiki raft. The game is complete and in very good condition. There is a torn corner on the box lid and some small tears on the edges. $75.00 plus shipping.See the etsy listing for more pictures. http://www.etsy.com/listing/91354160/rare-kon-tiki-board-game-1967 Thanks, Andy
