Invicta Mastermind Board Game, Original Edition (c.1972)

Story

Mordecai Meirowitz, an Israeli postmaster and telecommunications expert, invented this game after being rejected by several major toy companies who dismissed the concept as too simple.

Maker / Origin

Invicta Plastics was a small British firm specializing in industrial plastics before Mastermind catapulted them to international fame.

Condition & Value

The box shows significant shelf wear, including corner scuffing and a prominent horizontal crease across the center of the image. These signs of 'love' and frequent play are typical for family games, though they do keep the value at a modest level compared to a mint-condition example.
