Red with no design.

The playing surface is a replica of a football pitch, measuring 25 3/8" wide by 19 1/2" high, including a rounded wood bar at each end, which measures 1/2" by 1/2". It is green with white sectional markings. This playing surface rolls up for storage.

There are two goals made of metal mesh with a wire frame at top front and top sides as well as bottom sides to rear.

There are two cardboard goalie figures. One has a red shirt and black shorts, the other, a white shirt and black shirts. Each goalie's hands is on the knees. Each goalie has a folded cardboard on its back that serves as a slot into which an L-shaped metal piece (1 3/8" high and 5 1/4" horizontal with a dip near the bend, and 3/8" wide) is inserted. The metal piece is held by a player to move the goalie to block any winks heading toward the goalie's goal.

There are two metal rings with a short "handle" connected to the ring. Their purpose has not yet been discerned.

Winks and squidgers are plastic without burrs and are provided in a small red box (2 1/2" wide by 1 3/8" high by 5/8" tall) with a heiroglyphics-style light brown pattern.

The round squidgers measure 1" in diameter and about 1/16" thick, with one each provided in white and red.

The winks measure 5/8" in diameter, about 1/32" thick, with two white ones provided with a black dot in the middle, and two red ones also with a black dot in the middle. In addition, there are additional winks, measuring the same, with two solid white ones and two solid red ones.

An additional wink represents the football, since it shows the segments and sewing on a ball. It is yellow, a bit less that 5/8" in diameter and around 1/16" thick.

Another piece is rectangular (1 1/16" by 11/16") and green, about 1/16" thick.
