Move the pieces and the higher rankings defeats the lower until you capture the Flag

Transcript

00:00Here's another vintage board game made by Ideal called the Generals.

00:07Let's take a look and see what's going on under the hood.

00:15All the paperwork and rankings, 1980 shows each of the rankings of all the, from the

00:40flag all the way up to the five-star general and everything in between.

00:54Let's see I met these people and they gave me a pretty good deal on it because

01:01what you do is each person maneuvers and attacks and when they set the piece they

01:09hide it so you can't see it the lights of it back and forth and then it'll tell

01:13who the higher ranking wins but it won't reveal who they are but that don't work

01:18so that's why I got it for a better deal.

01:23But all the pieces are there though, from all the, let's see, private, agent, colonel, I mean

01:37they're all there, first lieutenant, major, one the five-star general, the lieutenants, the

01:45private, the agent, the flag, the attacks, the captain, so anybody who's been in the service

01:52knows about all these rankings and that's what makes it kind of fun to play.

01:58Let's see if we can put all this back together now and the box itself ain't too, it's got a little bit of wear on the sides but nothing much.

02:24There's a view of the back side, computer, carpenter reveals which piece has the higher rank, flashing lights,

02:48pretty fun game back in the day, 1980.
