P.M. (Plus and Minus)
P.M. (Plus and Minus) is a vintage British card-and-board race game from around 1935, attributed to John Waddington. Each player races four men from the stars to 25, playing plus and minus cards to move them along. The box calls it a "2 to 4 player outfit", and the V&A museum in London has one in its collection. It's a genuine vintage copy, so please handle it gently.
- Players 2–4
- Difficulty Easy

About the game
Until A.M. you'll play P.M. That's what the box promised back in the 1930s.
Gobgob's favourite bit: The plus and minus cards. A bit of mental arithmetic decides who gets home to 25 first, and Gobgob has never loved maths more.
👥 2–4 players
