Description

Cash is a Pachisi type race game and Akambo (Red Baby) is a simple children s game in which players match parts of the face with overturned counters. In 1881, when this game was published, Japan had recently opened itself to the outside world after centuries of isolation. This resulted in a surge of interest in Japanese culture which is reflected in this game. As with most McLoughlin Bros. board games, the playing boards are colorful lithographic prints of high quality.
