1974 'Realm' Strategy Game by Gamut of Games
$24.00
1974 Realm by Gamut Games. Has all pieces except one round 'powers' piece. Good condition.
This 1974 second edition of "Realm" is a quintessential example of the sophisticated strategy games that emerged from Gamut of Games in the mid-1970s. Marketed as "the new strategy games of kings," this set uniquely offers five different levels of play—ranging from simple to challenging—all utilizing the same elegant board and pieces. The design is a beautiful time capsule of 1974 aesthetic, featuring a simulated leather-bound board and metallic gold and silver cylindrical playing pieces. It was designed to transcend the possibilities of Chess, offering a more dynamic, evolving field of play that appealed to the "thinking person" of the era.
With its deep brown box and owl-branded iconography, this game is a perfect fit for a Dark Academia-themed study or game room. It pairs exceptionally well with heavy wood furniture, brass accents, and a glass of scotch, embodying the intellectual and moody atmosphere of a 1970s library. While this set is missing one round "powers" piece, it remains in good vintage condition and is a striking display piece for collectors of rare tabletop media or mid-century hobbyists. The box art alone, with its cozy, textured photography, serves as a fantastic piece of period graphic design.
This item is vintage, over 50 years old.
