The Piatnik Company, of Vienna, produced this game, “Famous Cities,” sometime in the ’50s. The English edition seems to have been handled by Benno Products of London. The young players were expected to collect cities in sets of four. Besides such familiar metropolises as Paris, Berlin, and Rome are some less obvious choices, like Örebro.

I’d love to see some of Yugoslavia……is SPLIT in this deck?

The countries in this deck are Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the U.S. Rather Eurocentric! But no Yugoslavia, unfortunately.
