Almanach des jeux de société

Paris, 1862. Wood engraved illustrations throughout. Modern boards. A very good copy of an ephemeral title. A whimsical illustrated almanac of parlor games. Following a calendar of saints’ days for the year, the text lists the rules for 68 games and 59 “penances” for losers. The games are divided into categories: movement, attention, memory, traps, and intelligence. The book concludes with a catalog of other game-related books available from the publisher.
Not in Grand-Carteret.
