Strawberry Shortcake, Star Wars, and Risk in 1983
A December 10, 1983, newspaper advertisement for the game fans in the audience. The Risk entry is neat, that Return of the Jedi game is far more impressive as a craft project than it is a game, but the real winner of this ad has to be the Strawberry Shortcake card games. Three Strawberry Shortcake card games priced at about $5/each makes me ask: Just how many Strawberry Shortcake games were created at the brand’s height of popularity in the early eighties?
