Japanese precious metals retailer Tanaka Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K. said Wednesday that it has made a board game using pure gold, valued at some 150 million yen.
The “Jinsei Game” (The Game of Life) board game uses some 12.4 kilograms of pure gold and weighs some 17 kilograms. It is not for sale, the company said.
The set will be on display at a jewelry shop in Tokyo from Friday through the end of the month. Tanaka Kikinzoku plans to show it off at other stores as well.
Sized the same as a conventional Jinsei Game, the new version features a board and car-shaped pieces both made of pure gold.
Miniature buildings and the roulette on the board are made of platinum, with sliver used to make pins depicting human characters.
Tanaka Kikinzoku made the set in collaboration with Japanese toy maker Tomy, which sells the original Jinsei Game.
