*** IMPORTANT READ: items of paper, such as board games, MAY HAVE THE SMELL OF NICOTINE present. These items come from estates and prior owners may have been smokers. While airing the game out, open box, in a fresh area will normally dissipate any tobacco smell completely, we ask that you please consider the possibility of a nicotine smell pre-purchase. Items are photographed and then go directly to the warehouse, thereby having no time to air out pre shipment. ***
About the game: Significantly different from the much-later issue of the G.I. Joe Commando Attack game, this 1985 version features a different map, different rules and the absence of a missile launcher. In this game, both the G.I. Joe and Cobra teams consist of two squads of six soldiers each. Depending on the number of players, each player controls one or two squads. The object of the game is to gain entry to the enemy headquarters and the first team to successfully infiltrate the enemy HQ wins.
