Decathlon VHS/DVD Case Game Kit

Create your own travel version of Knizia's game of 10 push-your-luck minigames in either a DVD binder or VHS case. Photos of the DVD binder version are in the photos section. My wife and I have played this on many flights and never lost a die. Thanks to franchi for the icons, and great thanks to Dr. Knizia for this gem of a gift he's given us all.
