I picked up this board game - Ozark Ike - 1956.
Then I decided to google the name - I found out - and never heard of it - Ozark Ike was a comic strip character similar to Little Abner.
Also - two ML baseball players were nicknamed "Ozark Ike"; Gus Zernial and Ralph Kiner.
This is a simple game of chance - one die to roll - I really like the graphics - and heck - it's from the 50s!
It's in superb shape for a 50 yr old game!
And for those who don't read the 'show and tell' thread - I picked this game up for Christmas - it's the oldest in my collection now:
National League Ball Game - Yankee Novelty Company - 1890.
And - this one's been on my list for years - the Waner's Baseball Game - 1936.
Thanx for viewing!

Not much - haven't picked up a card in months! Thanx for asking.
Right now I spend about 3 to 4 hrs a day playing the guitar and learning songs - I don't think the Stones have anything to worry about tho!
