This one is complete with all pieces (to make 12 fish in total), 2 dice and instructions printed on the underside of the lid. The game does not include the original dice roller / beaker, but that's not too major a loss. The playing pieces are in good condition considering their age and use, as is the box which has some slight wear to the edges and some ink on one side to the word "Floundering" (see photos).

It's good vintage fun, and we're not just angling for a sale when we say that.

Looks like good vintage fun to us, and we're not just angling for a sale when we say that.
