Description

World War 2 era game made for the Military. Games is double sided board about 4"X4". Unique cloth strap to tie to leg while playing. I suppose this was for play while riding in Jeeps or other transport. Little cloth pouch is attached to board and holds colored wooden pins. The instruction book gives detailed instructions to play 15 different games and 10 different puzzles. Comes in nice box, this one is tattered, taped and has light stains. Probably a nice little game set for a soldier. Checkers and board can also be used for a Cribbage board.
