Notes:

We previously showed a date for this game of February 1960. The new date is per Gottlieb documentation.

For this game and all Gottlieb multi-player games of the 1950s that had the large, curved wooden lockdown bar, we are seeking a photograph of the area underneath the lockdown bar when it is removed, as in this example of Toreador. Ideally, this picture would include the card holder with original factory cards in it, including the name card.
