US games carts

Is there a rarity differance between the flat US game carts like this Gopher & the beveled end ones like this Picnic?

Not much, AFAIK. I seem to run into one type about as often as the other.

I do think that the beveled cases are a bit more sought after by collectors, though.

I had no problem picking up both varieties of each when I was completing my US Games collection. I don't think one's more rare than the other.

Sounds about the same here. I recently completed my US games collection, but I'm missing a few of the case variations. I seem to see each just about as frequently, though.

Must be regional variation then. Of all of the US games I found, only one were in the plain cart and not the fancy cart.

The plain carts came before the beveled ones, right?

 

I've never seen NTG is a plain case, and I'm under the impression that it was one of (if not the) last US Games releases.

 

Also, Eli's Ladder, which was apparently made with leftover US Games inventory, only exists in a beveled case, hinting that the company didn't have any plain cases left . . .

 

From my experience, the beveled cases are slightly more common, but probably not enough to affect rankings,

I had a hell of a time getting the beveled Gopher cart. And try finding a M.A.D. beveled cart that has the end label still attached! I've got them all now, but I still need another M.A.D. with the end label
