1975 The Ungame. Has all pieces and instructions. Good condition. Shows age and use.
Rediscover the art of conversation with this original 1975 edition of "The Ungame." Created by Rhea Zakich, this iconic "game with no winners" was a cultural phenomenon of the 1970s, designed to foster communication, empathy, and self-discovery. Unlike traditional competitive games, The Ungame focuses on sharing thoughts and feelings as players move through various "Light" and "Deep" card prompts. It captures the quintessential "Human Potential Movement" spirit of the mid-70s, making it a fascinating cultural time capsule.
This complete set includes the original game board, 6 colorful pawns, 1 die, "Deep" cards, "Light" cards, and the original instruction manual. The cards range from lighthearted icebreakers to profound personal questions, making it an excellent tool for family bonding, counseling sessions, or a nostalgic game night with friends. This set is a thoughtful gift for a psychology student, a fan of 70s pop culture, or a family looking to unplug and reconnect. While the box and components show the honest wear and yellowing of a game that has been enjoyed for half a century, the vintage patina only adds to its authentic retro charm. It is a perfect addition to a collection of Mid-Century board games or as a unique conversation piece for a cozy, wood-paneled den.
