Description
Eighteen country fields are assigned to the continents of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. Using three dice, players could embark on a trip around the world. The board game contains outdated geographical names and racist and stereotypical representations of people who are supposed to embody the individual continents.
Provenance
Formerly the Museum Fürstenwalde (Spree). Towards the end of the war, the museum's collection was located in the town hall, which was damaged during air raids in April 1945. In June of the same year, parts of the collection were relocated to the former Hindenburg School in Fürstenwalde. Individual items from the collection were lost during this period as a result of looting and theft.
