What were they smoking? or My favorite game covers from the 60's.

As nice as game covers are now I'm just never going to love them the way that I love these overstylized beauties. I wish there was a way to track down some of these artists. I would love to own coffee mugs of all of these wonders of the "modern" world. Please feel free to add your own. I'll be updating this from time to time.

This looks like modern Japanese pop art. Drugs and alcohol are definately not ruled out of the creation of this one.

Lamp not included.
Check out the cravat on that guy. Hey, obviously ladies love a man with a huge cravat. She's out for a piece of ascot.

These games harken back to the days when kids could play with brains and not be judged.

Of course kids floating in barrels bet all their money on chickens.
Keep your kids away from barrels and chickens.

I think the Blonde guy found something in a different box.

You're right Mom, these things give you so much energy. I've been cleaning my room all night.

Whoever painted this lived on a commune that survived off of factory seconds. Really, who wore those clothes?

Ok nothing weird about this, I just really love this artist.

I would love to find this game just to see how they actually took such a dumb idea and made a game out of it. Not sure if that's a wig or a rabbid tribble on there.

Nowadays we smile about, but this game was designed (1960) to have an educational effect.

Of course, the folks who really may have been smoking something were the ones who proposed having buyers send off for live frogs as the game components. Fortunately for many frogs, the manufacturer went with mechanical critters.

just a ''little diddle'd do ya!'' what a 'catch phrase' 
,,,,,,,,,,
it looks like 'someone' got into the 'Puppy Uppers', and the others are just 'feeling' their 'Doggie Downers' taking 'effect'! 
NOW 'this'...looks to be the 'Michael Jackson' version if you'll 'notice' the distinct LACK of any other 'adults'! okay, them 'girls' are JUST to 'attract' them BOYS!
