This Game Was Not As Fun As Advertised!!!!!!!!!!!! Vintage Board Game #5--"Ka-Bala!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Transogram, with the funny little man as its logo, also got on the supernatural bandwagon of the other toy manufacturers, which I owned. The advertising campaign for this one was so enticing, making kids want to own it so much, yet was such a disappointment if you got it. Because, being from Transogram, it was cheaply made, and did not offer the thrills promised.
"Mystic Skull" was better than this. On "Ka-Bala," the giant eye--which was not as gigantic as one had hoped--did not always stay on, the board had to be dealt with so delicately, or else the tiny little cards would spill out of their inserts.
I cannot even remember what the object of the game was. The one thing I am indebted to this game for is it introduced me to Tarot cards. I used to have a deck, and learned the Arcana, which the Ka-Bala cards were a variation on. My set I gave away, and that person has since deceased, so I don't want a tainted deck back. Besides, these days, I have more of an interest in the Lenormand cards, which are so visually engaging, and I would like to learn these. Anyone know where I can get a deck? Or lessons?
Aren't they beautiful? I love that Victorian, Lewis Carroll feel.
Hey, I know it is not Calculus, but when did I ever go the conventional route?
