Game Description:
This special edition of 'Axis & Allies' was released in 2008 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Avalon Hill - the influential American manufacturer of board war games.
The 50th Anniversary Edition of 'Axis & Allies' was produced as a very limited edition and contained a whole host of special features and components, not found in any other 'Axis & Allies' game. The quality of production, both for the game itself and the packaging, is the best ever seen for an 'Axis & Allies' game.
These include new playing pieces for China and Italy, new naval pieces (cruisers), a brand new 3-piece map board (the largest ever produced for this game) and several new rules and starting set-ups. The game also includes special individual card boxes for storing the playing pieces. Each box has its own unique artwork, corresponding to the specific nation.
Needless to say these games were quickly snapped up by collectors when the game was launched and the game sold out almost overnight. It is now very sought after on the secondhand market and good quality examples of the game come up for sale very rarely.
The game we currently have for sale, although secondhand, is complete and unused. The counters are all unpunched and still in their original card sheets, the money is still shrinkwrapped, and the playing pieces are all still factory sealed in their original plastic bags! Apart from some very minor rubbing to the edges of the box, the game is in mint 'as new' condition'.
This is a very rare chance to own the ultimate 'Axis & Allies' game. In addition to being a superb strategic war game, it will only increase in value.
