This past weekend we were discussing toys from our childhood and I remembered the original Mastermind box art

Just.. what?

The article linked in the last tweet surveys the Mastermind box art across all its various editions and localizations

"Of all the various covers, those of the Polish editions of Mastermind are perhaps the ones that break most with the paternalist, imperialist dynamics of the original and seem to propose a partnership, some measure of equality."

But also, Brazil:

"The pictures of Woodward over the years give the game a peculiarly Dorian Gray-like property ... on the cover of the 1979 Disney version, he is seated in a wicker chair clad in a safari jacket, pleasantly beckoning Mickey Mouse and friends."

oh good
