Details

Year estimate based on other (rare) games of this brand, as far as known all with design and illustrations by Wim Olnon. Information from the internet: The publisher name Rudo Games is derived from the name Rudolf Sweering, a relative of the author Wilm Olnon, born in 1917. Olnon provided the graphics for the games and possibly even more graphic work for Rudolf Sweering as he was an advertising draftsman by trade before he later became a teacher. Wim Olnon's 3 children still remember that they also did a job for Uncle Rudolf in the early 1950s, namely rolling up hundreds of Tom Poes film strips and other cartoon characters and putting them in plastic tubes. Some of them they kept to themselves and occasionally played them through a magic lantern. Rudolf Sweering's daughter was able to find out through her mother that Rudo Speel had the games made at the carton factory Bakker & Stoffels in Wormerveer. (background information obtained from Friso Olnon, son of author Wim Olnon)
