This newspaper game is a real slice of nostalgia for anyone who remembers the days of 'The Daily Sketch' and 'The News Chronicle'

The object of the game is to completely fill a blank page of your newspaper with stories and advertisements with as high a value as possible. The unique thing about this game is that rather than move around a board, the players get the chance to obtain their stories and adverts by collecting 'Scoop' cards, and then using the 'telephone'  (see picture) to call their editor to get a decision on whether to publish the story.

The game includes some really interesting cards showing advertisements from the period.

The copy of the game that we have for sale (pictured below) is the rare 5-player version, and is complete and in excellent condition for it's age.
