Maggi's Fliegerspiel
1935
Published by Maggi
This is a colorful roll-and-move game published during the 1930s by Swiss food company Maggi that specialized in bouillon cubes and sauces. Players start from Maggi's pre-WWII factory in Kempttal, and fly an open cockpit, single-seat plane across Europe, around Africa, over to Australia and then home via India, the Middle East and Russia. The illustrations are highly racist by today's standards. The Maggi representative is shown receiving a nose ring in return for offering Maggi soup to a pair of natives southern Africa, escaping from a dagger-wielding Arab by making soup with a bouillon cube, and being tied to a tree by Australian Aborigines while they feast on his Maggi cargo. —user summary
