About this game

Players are Buck Privates with a one-night pass in the northernmost port in Tunisia. Their goal is “to meet and date exotic maids waiting in the Park and stroll with them on the moonlit beach” - and avoid getting stuck with the ugliest date. The first three privates to pick up dates get Bizerte Gertie, Sally from Bali or New Guinea Minnie. The laggard gets stuck with Alice the Hound Dog.

Mechanism

Roll and Move

Rules

The player with Alice can swap her with another player’s date by landing on that player’s space. Players must make it through the “Yoo-Hoo” zone (where their dates may attract the attention of Officers), successfully enter the Play-a-Way Club (“no dogs allowed”) and then make it to the beach. The first to arrive there collects the kitty (and kisses).
