Thüringen Thursday

Here's one of my rarer boards - the Jaques Royal Garrison Game (a variation of German Tactics) dating to around 1860s.

I got the 12" mahogany board without any marbles but found a picture of an original one with what looked like micas. I had just enough spare micas to fill it in the correct configuration.image.thumb.jpeg.860521afa0eb686b6c327040d1d32fa0.jpeg

Another unusual 12" board this week. Probably Jaques c.1860s - the game known as Nine Mens Morris aka Merelles aka The Mill.

Mibs not original to the board but set up as they would have been with 2 opposing teams of 9. The swirls are nice clear glass ground pontils and the onions are earlier faceted pontils. All 7/8" - really nice size.
