Dick Tracy Detective Game (1933)

Dick Tracy Detective Game is a simple spin-and-move race game, published by Einson-Freeman as part of their "Funland" brand. As players advance around a board picturing the east coast of the United States, a comic book-style story unfolds, telling how Dick Tracy foils a swindle by his enemy, the Stooge. Landing on black spaces, with special instructions, either advances or sends each players back. The first player to reach the finish line and arrest the Stooge is the winner. The E-F editions included a spinner and four player counters, depicting Dick Tracy (red), Chief Brandon (yellow), the Stooge (blue), and Junior (green). —user summary
