1820, Edward and John Wallis, London, England.
Ivory teetotum, 18th century
Dice were connected with gambling and unsuitable for genteel homes, so games like this one used an ivory teetotum to advance play. Each space on this board represents a famous scene from the life of an English ruler.
Equally instructive and amusing, this game also informs the winning player to proceed immediately to the publisher to purchase another board.
