Cadbury Cococubs Race Game Board
Cadbury Bros. Ltd., C. 1934. This board game was a promotional gimmick by Cadbury to help sell their drinking chocolate just as Britain was coming out of an economic depression.

The game board could fold in half for easy storage. One side had the instructions, and the 'Story of the Game' with illustrations of Cococubs around border, and the other side featured the colorful playing boar. Measures 15 1/2" x 7 1/2" (folded), 15 1/2" x 15" (unfolded). Playing pieces lacking. Board only.
