The 1948 Sunken Treasure Board Game by Parker Brothers I love the opening story on the instructions of the 1948 board game of Sunken Treasure! It is as follows: “In the warm deep waters off Key West, an old Spanish ship with its Sunken Treasure has been located. The players of this game are the crew of divers all competing for the honor of being the first to return to the Salvage Ship with treasure.” Read more on MW's Game Site: AAFAG: allaboutfunandgames.com/the-1948-board-game-of-sunken-treasure-by-parker-brothers |

The 1956 vintage board game of Treasure Island by Milton Bradley captures the excitement found in Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1883 novel of the same title. This classic story includes the account of a young boy’s search for lost pirate treasure. The game Treasure Island brings this tale right to the game table by saying in the instructions that each player’s pawn is to represent this courageous and adventurous boy named Jim Hawkins! The board consists of various pictures of plundering fun. There are images of a shipwreck, pirate sword fight, treasure map, and the digging and guarding of buried gold. The central image of the board is that of Treasure Island. On this final space of the game is a large pirate treasure chest filled with gold and jewels; and at the onset of the game, players place additional ‘pieces of eight’ tokens onto this space. The object of the game is to be the player to collect the most ‘pieces of eight’ from this treasured supply during the game. The winning player may or may not be the player who reaches Treasure Island first. Read more here: allaboutfunandgames.com/1956-vintage-board-game-of-treasure-island |

Keep your mind in Shape! Who? A game of hidden identity is a Parker Brothers collectible. Published in 1951, the board game is a rare and entertaining find. Who? will challenge all player’s deduction skills and test each player’s memory. Although it is a game which requires close consideration and scrutiny of moves, Who? is a wonderful and fun game to still play today.

Disney released the film Treasure Island in 1950 starring Bobby Driscoll as Jim Hawkins and Robert Newton as Long John Silver. It was Disney’s first completely live-action film and first screen version of Treasure Island made in color. Based on the classic novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, and receiving positive views, a board game naturally followed. Treasure Island: The Pirate Adventure Game was released in 1950. Although the board game is of basic game play, the pieces are not. As you can see from the image below, the inset is truly creative, as well as the pieces.
