Ujiji is named after the location in Tanzania where Henry Morton Stanley met Dr David Livingstone in 1871. The game’s alternative name is ‘The Search for Dr Livingstone’. Stanley, the special correspondent for the New York Herald, was commissioned by the newspaper to go and find Livingstone, who was presumed missing in Africa, in 1869 and who met him with the immortal phrase, ‘Dr Livingstone, I presume?’. This game capitalised on these events which people were following avidly in the newspapers of the time. The game has been said to be comparable to Characters from Charles Dickens as it contains 52 cards with native black Africans to be recognised and matched. There must also have been a pool element to the game as some characters have been given the traits of lazy, greedy, cruel and cowardly and when these characters occur a forfeit is paid to either Stanley or Livingstone. However, the characters are depicted in grotesque caricatures which were acceptable at the time but which are now viewed as hugely derogatory in their racist depictions. Stanley and Dr Livingstone also feature. The names used in the game are related to Tanzania and must have been taken from reporting at that time. Mkasiwam King of Unyanyembe, Mirambo, Chief of Uyoweh and Mansong, King of Bambarra were contemporary names and people. While deeply offensive to many in this day and age, this card game shows Jaques willingness to exploit an exciting contemporary news stories which had captured the public interest and created a game which chimed with those current and ongoing events. The collection holds one complete pack of 52 cards.
