THE ROYAL GAME OF THE GOOSE and THE GAME OF THE LABYRINTHTM ...researched by Peter Aleff These two authentic ancient
games, back-to-back on the same deluxe wood board, are the ancestors of all modern boardgames: "Labyrinth" from Minoan Crete, "Goose" from the Renaissance. Both are a race to the center. "Goose" is purely chance, while "Labyrinth" allows for backgammon-like strategies. The two-sided, 24" octagonal framed wood gameboard is handcrafted, with brass reinforcing brackets and a brass-finish carry handle. The superb quality carries through to 16 handpainted wood pawns, lively wood dice and a velvet cover. Suitable for 2 to 8 players, all ages. "Goose" (18K) and "Labyrinth" (19.9K) are also available back-to-back on a 24" canvas banner, with 24 glass stones, wood dice and book, fabric drawstring tube, for 2 to 6 players. |
