Cover Description

The label has a white outer border, then a black border.

The upper left has a triangular red background with black 8-pointed stars and dots. "THE NEW" over "GAME" over "OF" (white with black border) appears within it.

The diagonal from lower left to upper right has a blue background in a nonsymmetrical lozenge shape, with white 8-pointed stars and dots. "Eclipse" is shown at center on a cut-out circle, in white with black outline then blue lower-right shadow then black outline, with extra curls on most letters. The cut-out circle is attached inside to a red piece of cardboard attached as a hinge to the inside top apron and extending the height of the game. This red cardboard serves as an easel leg to hold the game cover and the Eclipse circle upright.

At the lower left of this diagonal a woman (red dress, blue top with red sides, light blue arm coverings) standing and holding a parasol (yellow and green with red spots) in her left hand.

Appearing at the upper right of this diagonal is a male figure (light blue/white billowing outfit with light/blue very wide and wavy collar, white cap, light blue/white shoes).

Connecting the woman and male figure is a yellow crescent moon, its concave side facing upper left. The moon extends from the blue diagonal through a red triangular area in the lower right, which also has black 8-pointed stars and dots.

"BRITISH MANUFACTURE" is printed at lower left.

Contents

The game board is attached inside the box bottom, and has a dark blue sky background with white 8-pointed stars scattered over it. Four yellow circles representing the moon appear. Each has a different face: the one at top has a puckered mouth; below, the left one is smiling and showing teeth, and is winking one eye; the right one is smiling with mouth closed; and the one near the bottom has both eyes closed.

The rules are printed at the bottom of the game board.

Four 1/8" thick cardboard circles, measuring 3 1/4" in diameter, show a map of the western hemisphere of earth on one side and a map of the eastern hemisphere on the other. These are intended to be thrown through the hole in the game box cover and land on a moon to cause an eclipse.
