Ah – them were the days! I bought my copy of Scoop at Hurleys, a wonderful but now extinct little department store half way between Balham and Tooting Bec. Just look at that box lid! Reminiscent of something out of a 1950s British TV series like Fabian of the Yard or a film like The Long Arm. I almost wish I still had it, if not quite enough to buy one of several on offer at eBay. It’s a pity no inventor was credited, for it introduced several new board game concepts.
