"To the Juggling of the dice the min.
MES keep moving about in the woods,
and the player attempts to get the amber
and brown lacquered casks to seaport,
painted on the board, and then Jump
them across pond into the HOme.Safe-
at-Last square, That's THE GAME.
I'm order to accomplish this the great
est nerve--lOts of nerve-my son, and
skill, are required, for it can be done
but there are many thousand chances
against the play, yet so exciting and in
teresting is the game that once you be.
gin it you can hardly stop it-that is, il
you can afford to purchase the outfit.
"Some happy children of fortune, boys,
though grown, have had the pleasure re.
Gently of playing this game before Santa
Claus brought them an outfit, but they
did not win the game, and they have
laid aside the board for awhile.
"They made splendid progress and got
five piles of the coin pieces, each pile
representing 100000 on the board. Fol,
lowing this, and by the most promising
maneuvering, the rules of the game per-
mitted the casks to appear on the board
in sufficient quantity to Offset the
5x25O, 900 equals l,250,00O limit.
"Then came the chase across the
board for the seaport town square, and
the effort to jump the casks across the
pond into the Home Safe.at-Last square.
To do this the dice must be so juggled
that the casks, each and all of them, can
be passed safely through a maze wherein
lie four big squares, marked The Big
Four
"When you reach the maze and can
not get through, you can get chance
to start again, but you must put your
casks in pawn, and then you introduce
a little block of marble prettily shaped
and hewn like unto bank. This is
called the Rescuer.
"Again the dice fall and the Rescuer
must make certain moves, which are
SURE and CERTAIN, and entitle this
cold bit of stone to be placed with the
set aside casks. Then only can the
player introduce upon the board bit of
metal, which is heavily embossed in
rhinestone letters, Loan Like the
Open Sesame of the fairy tale, this ex-
change of collateral 1.-THE rosinlike bar
rels) for this piece of metal (marked
LOan) the doors are opened for the
player to bring into the big central
square another set of rosin-like barrels,
the meanwhile the player being obliged,
by keeping things BUSY mean the dice
rafting and falling-so as to have the
green ninnies move about harmOniOusly
in the woods.
"Now, the player has, it would seem,
all that he can do, but the game grows
more interesting and exciting. He must
keep in mind that the bank-guarded
piles of casks may have chance to slip
through the Maze of the Big Four and
into Home, and at the same time he
must get the new lot of casks, bought
with the Loan figure of the game, up
to the Maze of The Big Four. Should
this consignment fail to get through,
then another, but slightly smaller Res
cuer bit of marble, shaped like bank,
is set aside with this second and
smaller lot of casks.
"And so you see how intricate the
game becomes, for now, to continue, you
draw a second Loan to purchase Sec
ond lot of casks by this means-the first
you must remember having been bought
by the 5y25O, 900 equals l,25O,OOO OF the
green ninnies. The player now has two
lots of casks pawned to and guarded by
the marble bank, while third lot comes
on the board. According to the rules OF
a l,25O,OOO game, the number of loan
pieces ARE NOT ONLY LIMITED,
BUT GROW SMALLER EACH TINE
YOUR ARE OBLIGED TO DRAW ONE,
and at the same time the consignment
of casks received is, by the Law and
Rules of this great Goo-GOo Gum Game,
of dwindling significance. Like the num-
Der of Loan pieces, so, too, are the
Bank pieces limited, and there are the
