What a wonderful find and well framed Cherie… i notice that there are raised edges to keep the pieces from sliding off of the board when at sea….peter:)
It looks rather fun
The raised edges are for drunken sailors to hang onto. The drawer contains a cat-o’ -nine-tails to be used as a get out of jail free but with a few stripes.
If that is the case I think I will steer clear of this version of the game
Specialized games like that are collector’s items, Cherry, as you know. How fun. (And I’m very glad to see I can comment once again.)
It is a nice bit of craftsmanship. I am glad to be able to blog again and hear what people have to say
Even came with little drawers to keep your money!
The emphasis being on little… I always lose at Monopoly
What a clever idea – I wonder if they sell many?
I think it is a one off, probably crafted by one of the ships crew.
That looks like a well crafted and substantial board game.
I like the way it is uniquely made out of natural materials.
