State of Origin! Perhaps the most anticipated sporting event in Australia. Next Wednesday night it kicks off down in Melbourne and I’m sure there are a lot of you who cannot wait! Myself included.
Tonight I thought I’d share an interesting board game I came across a few weeks back. Its called ‘The Rugby League State of Origin Football Game’ and dates from 1985 which is pretty early in the scheme of State of Origin.
It comprises of a cardboard field, little plastic players, a football, and cards which you select. These cards give you directions on how the game is played. Definitely a lot different to the modern rugby league videos games on consoles like the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3!
Overall it’s a pretty cool piece. Love the old school graphics on the cover. Would make a great piece for a collector of Rugby League related items!
I’ll be taking advantage of the hype State of Origin creates to try and help sell this board game. Looking to list it on eBay a week before game 2 in Sydney, and have it end the Tuesday night before the game! Very interested to see how it goes.
