two, three, or four persons, with small DRAUGHT-MEN, to-
gether with either DICE, CARDS, or a PAUNCHEE TETO-
TUM, on a Board similar to a Draught-board. It is very fashion-
able in the higher circles in London, and only requires to be more
generally known to be introduced into every genteel society.
