A vividly coloured, psychedelic pop-art style backglass for a two-player game. Layout is symmetrical across the top: two white mechanical score reels (five digit windows each) set in red-bordered panels at upper left and upper right, each capped by a yellow circle reading 1ST PLAYER / 2ND PLAYER, with a cloud-shaped yellow panel between them reading playmatic 2 PLAYERS above a plume of maroon, green and yellow smoke. The centre is dominated by the title GEISHA in large slanted yellow block capitals with a red drop shadow and dark outline. Around it swirl ribbon-like bands of magenta, teal, yellow, red and green. Figures: at left a pale grey-haired woman in a yellow kimono with a red sash, eyes lowered; centre-left a teal-skinned woman in white beads and a red collar holding an open white folding fan; at right a white-haired woman seen from behind, hair in a large spiral bun, bare yellow back; upper right a small blonde woman in profile; centre a cluster of large overlapping coloured spheres on stalks above a small pagoda; far right a huge woman's face in profile with red lips and a red-and-white headband. Bottom centre a yellow cartouche reads 1 OR 2 PLAYERS CAN PLAY. A cream instruction card at lower left reads GAME OF SKILL / YS MORE FUN / TO COMPETE!
