If you’re ever near Cleveland, I strongly recommend going to the Cleveland Museum of Art. It’s an incredible collection – and this is the crazy part – it’s totally free. Always. No admission fee.
I saw this amazing gaming table there, but there’s a mystery to it: What the heck did they play on that diamond-shaped side?
I reached out to the museum via their research request form. If I hear back, I’ll post the answer. In the meantime, anyone either know or have any guesses? It’s a German piece, from the early-mid 1700’s
I’ll look in the game book I got from my dad when I was home in July – it looks kinda familiar. You’ll have to wait a bit, though…I’m downstairs and it’s upstairs and stairs are hard with crutches, so I have to finish my GF project first.
Okay, had to snap photos quick, so they’re not great–hubs has an early morning tomorrow so I needed to turn my light off. I can send better ones tomorrow.
It is easy to learn and really fun. Most of the time you can find it on the backside of a chessboard. If you find one you should try it out. Our Kids like it too. Actually this would be a nice glowforge project.
