Fantastic original 1971 Parker Brothers Careers board game in exceptionally well-preserved condition. This wonderfully graphic early-1970s edition sends players through career paths including Ecology, Politics, Big Business, Sports, Space, Teaching and The Arts while they pursue their own combination of fame, fortune and happiness.
The best part about this copy is its condition: the contents appear to have seen very little, if any, actual play. The board is remarkably clean and vivid, the cards and paper pieces are crisp, the Success Formula score pad appears unused, and the original molded red organizer is still present.
