Does anyone remember this game?

A friend asked me if I remembered this game that she loved as a child and wants to buy for her daughter. She said it was a board game with cards, and the the cover of the box had "a farmer with a pitchfork and his wife" which sounds like the painting American Gothic to me. Any ideas? She's a little younger than me, so she probably had it in the mid-seventies or so.

I told her if anyone would know, it would be a DISer!

Thanks!

My guess would be the Masterpiece game. I had that as a child in the 70's and loved it!!!! It is a board game but does have cards of alot of different paintings including the one you described.

Hope that helps!

CindyBeth - I still have my Masterpiece game too!!!!
I LOVED that game and played it for hours! It's funny to wonder if it would hold any appeal for kids today??!!

Thanks everyone. That's the one she was looking for. She's looking to see if it is still available to buy for her daughter. I told her to check her parents attic first!

ME TOO! I loved that game. My sisters had it - wonder if it is still at my parent's house...
