Board GAmes: Beat The Border (1971)

Hey! Tell you what, lets create a board game based around Mexican drug running cartels! That'd a be a great game for all the family. Beat The Border was published by the appropriately named Border House Ltd., in 1971. A game for 2-4 players, where your job is to buy kilos of drugs from over the border and then sell them on back in the United States at profit. The aim of the game to make as much money as possible from your drug dealing. 
Think Breaking Bad the board game... Where you start with $1000 seed money to buy your drugs. Nip over the border, do a deal with Edwardo, Renaldo, Jose, etc... Then get back over the border without being detected, so you can sell them on in cites across the United States.

If you're carrying kilos you can be busted by various U.S. government agencies. But there are additional things you can buy throughout the game to help you get away with your new business venture, like dodgy lawyers and fake I.D.'s. You play the game until one player reaches the pre-set financial goal, usually around $25,000 to $100,000, as the suggested limit of the game rules. So get your big bad  Heisenberg on and see if you can Beat The Border!
