Description
This children's variation on Pachisi was released to take advantage of the trend in radio-based entertainment. Unlike Ludo, it uses two dice but only provides players with two pieces each. Up to four players compete to be the first to get their pieces - colored metal "Radio Horns" - all the way "Home," capturing opponents whenever they can and forcing them to start again. The player colors correspond to real radio stations of the period: Blue is KOA Denver; Black is KHJ Los Angeles; Yellow is WEAF New York; and Red is the (still very famous) WGN Chicago.
