1984 The A Team Board Game by Parker Brothers

A Team Board Game 1

This A Team board game is based on the popular prime time TV action series that ran from 1983 – 1986 and featured Mr. T., or Bosco “B.A.” Barakus as he was known on the show. (B.A. is short for Bad Attitude).The premise of this game is that a top secret formula for a famous soft drink has been stolen by a crafty madman and his evil band. They are holding it for ransom at the island fortress from which they operate. The internationally-renowned company that owns the formula has hired The A-Team to go into the fortress and retrieve it before the public – and Wall Street – find out about it! The madman knows that The A-Team is on to him so he has set up a deadly game which they must play once inside the fortress. Dressed in outfits to look like fortress guards, The A-Team members must work alone to find the formula. But Hannibal is crafty, too. He has sent B.A. in ahead of the others to infiltrate. B.A. knows “where it’s at” and he is there to help you in your mission. So what this means is that the game that prominently features B.A. on the outside and inside of the box has no B.A. game piece. So you can’t “be the Black character”, which you know you would want to do if you owned this game. Instead, B.A.’s face is incorporated into the game cards and on the game board! Just another evil conspiracy of the man!!! The player that gets the secret formula out of the fortress wins.
