TV Dominoes Game
Trumptonalia.
1970's Dominoes,Camberwick-style.
This a very much a sister product to the TV Lotto game,also produced by Medallion Press in 1970,and shown here
Unlike that set there's no mention of Philmar on this one though.
And I'm still trying to clarify the relationship between the 2 companies.
The box is about 12" x 4" and 1.25" tall.
It contains 28 dominoes.
Each one is a thick piece of card approximately 3.75" x 1.75" -colour printed on one side with 2 headshots of Camberwick characters,and blank on the other.
There are no instructions printed on the box.But it came with a single sheet loose inside,like the TV Lotto.
Which is missing from this one sadly.
This particular version's quite cheaply done too.
The contents are made of card rather than wood or plastic.
With the imagery consisting of artistic impressions rather than the still photos used for the TV Lotto game.
Although quite why that Lotto version was so blessed is a mystery.
Because Medallion's two equivalent domino and tv lotto sets for the Magic Roundabout only used artwork too,and all four were produced at the same time.
Not that kids would have been unduely worried about any of that of course.
And they might even have preferred the artwork,as it's nothing if not colourful.
But all those things do tend to work against it as a modern day collectable though.Which is why they're usually pretty cheap to get hold of whenever they crop up.
And,to finish things off,here are all 28 of the domino pieces,just to let you know exactly what you'd be getting ....
