    Description

    From an estate sale:
    •Welcome to this auction for
    an incomplete set of components for a vintage homemade board game called "Oxy."
    It is based on people and places that were at Occidental College when the game-maker designed it, maybe 1960 +/-?
    •Included are:  two typewritten pages of rules; a small pile of "Oxy" score sheets (for two to six players); a tall stack of Monopoly "Play Money," and seven tokens, a hotel, and one die. There is no gameboard. The Rules include lists of some of the people and places on campus at the time the game was created -- they
    could
    be used to help generate a game board. Maybe you can figure out when this game was created by checking the people's names and when they were at Occidental. I checked Dr. Benjamin H. Culley and learned he was at Occidental from 1943-1976 (and part-time after that).
    •Condition: These components are in acceptable condition. They were poorly stored, and someone snacked on both pages of Rules, some of the score sheets, and some of the money.

    Please look carefully at the photos. If you’re not sure of something, please ask! Use the "Contact Seller" link in the Seller Information box and I’ll get back to you as quickly as possible. Actual color may differ from the photos due to lighting. All items are described with honest intent. I do my best to disclose any imperfections I see, either in the description or in the photos, or both. I do miss things sometimes, though, and promise to quickly rectify any mistake I make.
    I buy new boxes and packaging materials as needed, and I also use recycled packaging materials -- including boxes, bubble wrap, and packing peanuts -- to help keep shipping costs down and to be kinder to the environment. Boxes and bubble wrap are carefully sanitized with alcohol wipes before re-using.
    Most of my items come from estate sales; my home is a clean, pet-friendly, smoke-free environment.
