wow! beautiful and unique
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is a very unique item. A 9"x13" book, the pages of which reproduce Victorian-era board games. The pages are very thick cardboard stock, like the cover of a "Little Golden Book". There is one board game on each 2-page spread. The pages lie flat, so it's just like a real board game! Six games in all: The Prince's Quest, A Day at the Zoo With Daddy, Cycling, The Wonders of the Deep, A Trip to Mars, and The Tailless Donkey. All the games are handily bound in a single book that fits on your shelf! Some of these are pre-1900!! The production values are excellent, and the games have a beautiful, hand drawn look. Game Pieces and dice are included! There are also instructions on how to play and a short passage giving a bit of history on each game. This has value as a fun item, as nostalgia, as sociological history, and as art!
