Description
This game of skill and chance won a gold medal at the Concours Lépine in the early years of the 20th century. It depicts a cheerful scene: adults tobogganing. The principle of the game is simple: after setting up the game, each player in turn places a marble on the inclined metal bar at the top. The marble falls from bar to bar until it lands in one of the squares on the base. Each square is worth a certain number of points. The winner is the player with the most points.
