For your consideration: SKULL AND CROSSBONES: ANATOMY TRIVIA GAME.  The vintage card game is undated and my attempts to determine when it was produced have been unsuccessful.  I estimate it to date from the 1970s or 1980s. The game is complete.  The instruction sheet indicates that there should be 448 Upper Extremity cards (blue), 384 Lower Extremity cards (yellow), 288 Trunk cards (white) and 224 Head & Neck cards (green) but this is incorrect.  The total--1344 cards--would not fit in the box.  Rather, the numbers given are for the total number of questions, not cards, and this consistent with the contents: 112 blue cards, 96 yellow cards, 72 white cards and 56 green cards (with 4 questions on each card).  The questions on each of the cards are M=Muscle Questions, N=Nerve Questions, C=Connective Tissue Questions and D=Draw the Anatomy Part Questions. These letters correspond with 4 of the 6 sides of the die.  The other 2 sides of the die are X=Loss of turn and F=Player or team must answer all four questions correctly. The game is played by drawing a card, rolling the die and then answering the question on the card corresponding to the letter that is rolled.  Answers appear on the rear of the card.  When a "D" is rolled a member of the team must draw the anatomy part so that others on the team can guess what it is (sort of like Pictionary for anatomy students). And that's exactly the purpose for which the game is intended: to help students turn the learning of anatomical features into a fun experience.  In addition to the cards and die, the contents include a one-minute sand timer, 4 original pencils and a par of paper (unused). CONDITION:  Game is complete with the original cards, special die, sand timer, pencils, pad and instructions.  Implements are all in very good to unused condition.  Instruction sheet has fold lines.  Original box is intact with some soil, stains and a small tear.  Please see photos.
