As can be seen from the top, this game is called "The Journey," and its intricate Victorian detailing merits it a place on here. On first sight, it may remind one of "Chutes And Ladders," (or, as the Brits call it, "Snakes And Ladders") but this seems like a simple journey from one end to the other, not unlike "Candy Land," only much more sophisticated.
And it makes another great wall piece. I wonder if these originals are on display anywhere????????????????
Wouldn't we just love to know, girls? I know I would!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brits call it snakes and ladders??
Interesting, I wonder why?
Victoria,
Years ago, I saw an edition of the
game; one board side had "chutes,"
the other side "snakes." Maybe
because snakes are associoated
with English country gardens?
That is my first thought.
And did the game originate in
England? The chutes might be
an Americanization of it!
