Late for the Sky Production Company produced board games loosely based on Monopoly, custom designed for a large number of American Universities and Colleges. They were made in the early 1990s. Some are more common than others in today’s market; the Cornell game apparently is quite rare, particularly, as here, in shrink-wrap sealed mint condition.
