NH Boat Museum might accept it as a donation to their annual auction, or if in really good condition, it might go in the store. Either way, a tax deductible donation for you, without the hassle of advertising, shipping, etc.

Follow the Mount and other local games may not have sold well back then because pre-internet.
Sales of WinniOpoly, launched just recently, have been exceeding expectations so far.
Excerpts from Union Leader article:
https://www.unionleader.com/nh/arts_...b6561f2cb.html
“With COVID-19 making 2020 “the year of games and puzzles,” a local mother and daughter have created one of the year’s biggest, and unexpected hits: WinniOpoly, a super-local Monopoly-style game with Lake Winnipesaukee at its center.
“It’s an homage to an earlier Winnipesaukee-influenced board game — Follow the Mount.
“At 6 p.m. on Oct. 29, Tognacci posted a message on the Gilford Country Store’s Facebook page asking if anyone was interested in reserving one of the first 500 copies of WinniOpoly. “Before going to sleep that evening, Tognacci admitted “I was concerned that I might not be able to sell 500,” but she awoke the next morning to find that all 500 had been reserved. Inspired by the response, Tognacci ordered 1,000 more of the games, which sell for $59.95 each and should arrive sometime in January.”
