Great Star of Africa

I got a parcel from Matti Pikkujämsä today: Afrikan tähti board game with his signature and leopard drawing!

Star of Africa (Afrikan tähti) is a classic legendary Finnish board game . It was published in 1951, and it has sold over 3.5 million copies since, half of them in Finland. There's one in almost every home in Finland.

Each player will have to find the African Star and travel by air, sea, or land, and bring it safely to Cairo or Tangier. On the way, the players might discover diamonds that will earn money, a gangster to rob you, or a horseshoe that will give you the chance to win the game. 

Afrikan tähti turned 70 years this year and artist Matti Pikkujämsä made a new celebration version illustration. The new version, which I love,  will be sold for a limited time only.
