1975 Sly Stategy Game, Amway. Game is in very good condition. Has all pieces. Comes with instructions. Box is pretty beat up.
This 1975 edition of "Sly" is a compelling example of the abstract strategy games that gained popularity in the mid-1970s. Published by Amway, the game features a unique mechanical board consisting of sliding red plastic tiles. Players must maneuver their pieces across this shifting grid, using tactical foresight to outwit their opponent in a game that prizes logic and spatial reasoning over luck. This set is in very good condition and is completely play-ready, containing all the original playing pieces and the essential instruction sheet.
The minimalist, high-contrast design of the box and the industrial feel of the red plastic board make this a fantastic "theatrical curiosity" for a modern library or game room. It captures a specific moment in 1970s design where bold typography and geometric play were at the forefront. While the internal components remain crisp and fully functional, the original box is "pretty beat up," showing the heavy shelf wear and corner softening expected of a well-loved vintage title. This wear does not affect the game itself but adds a sense of authentic history to the piece. It is a nostalgic find for collectors of obscure strategy games or those looking to add a tactile piece of 1970s corporate-published leisure to their collection.
This item is vintage, over 50 years old.
