Fire Department (1927)

"Fire Department" was released as one of six in Milton Bradley's "Radio Series" of inexpensive race games costing 15 cents each. It debuted in the Bradley Games catalog of 1927 and was sold through 1933. A slightly larger but cheaper edition, at 10 cents, appeared in the 1943 catalog. This is a simple spin and move game. Every player is the "driver of a fire apparatus," represented by a simple wooden disc. The goal is to get from the engine house to the fire. Landing on an orange space sends you forward three extra spaces and landing on a white space forces you to take one of two multiple-space detours.
