Description

Promotional game made by Waddingtons for Blue Label Fyffes Brand of bananas. Fyffes were the most famous supplier of bananas in Britain, mainly thanks to a catchy TV advert featuring the slogan "Unzip a Banana". Top Banana is based on the Banana Industry, its pitfally and its successes. You travel around the banana-shaped board, buying plantations and then shipping your produce to the marketplace in Britain. Although it is a familiar type of game, suggested by Monopoly, income is dependent on that which you can raise by making and selling (there is no "Collect 200 when you pass go"). The richest player wins if 'time' is called or if that player is the only one still in business.
