Original and complete set of this cult '60s "game" kit: a psychedelic puzzle without objectives, time limits or instructions, where "players" were meant simply to explore the possibilities of construction with these psychedelically illustrated cards. A happening disguised as a board game: twenty game pieces printed with bright swirling illustrations and cut with interlocking grooves, housed in a box illustrated with a representative three-dimensional construction a player might build.

A rare complete example in very good condition, with 20 interlocking cardboard cards, each 6x4 inches with a pattern, letters, or a surprising scene printed on recto and verso, without instructions or other printed matter, as issued (some sets issued with 21 cards, some with cards printed differently). 159x286x38 mm; 6¼x11¼x1½ inches. Some separations along box corners including 4 in lid reinforced with cello tape, moderate scattered soiling and abrasions to lid, else fine.

Issued in 1966, when both LSD and party games were in the height of fashion (Tim Leary was arguably at the height of his fame at this time) and the casual mind-expanding drug user was in great need of aimless but absorbing activity kits to purchase. Cards included were not identical set to set, with several patterns, themes, and motifs (some figurative, some entirely abstract) printed and inserted into games in various configurations; the present example is particularly psychedelic. Quickly discontinued (LSD was officially outlawed in the US in late 1968), only helping to cement its desirability in the decades to follow and now rare. OCLC does not locate.
