A fabulous piece of early Barbie history! This original 1960 Mattel The Barbie Game: Queen of the Prom captures the pastel-perfect world of early Barbie, complete with formal dresses, boyfriends, shopping, clubs, school activities and the ultimate goal: becoming Queen of the Prom.
The graphics on this game are exceptional — turquoise, bubblegum pink, lavender, orange and chartreuse with wonderful early Barbie illustrations throughout. Even the play money and individual cards are beautifully designed.
