A visitor to a Townley Group Fund-Raising Evening was moved almost to tears at the sight of this board, having played it with his governess many decades before (information from Irving Finkel).

Registered n°767914 Historical context note Rewards: forward movement, extra turns Forfeits: backward movement, missed turned N°of Players: any Equipment required: markers, dice Rules: RULES The game is played with dice and counters - a different coloured counter for each player. The object of the game is to reach the land of Health and Happiness, and the player who gets there first wins. The game may be played by any number of players. The difficulties and helps that you come to on your way are plainly marked on the board. You will see that a Gibbs fairy helps and an Imp hinders you. Giant Decay tries to handicap you at the beginning of the game and the Archer helps you - when you lands on a big "A", which stands for "Archer", if at your next turn you throw a number which brings you on to anything bad, you can take no notice of it and go straight on. If your throw lands you on 23, you have tea at the farm, and take the short cut through the field afterwards - that it, at your next turn, you jump to 37. At 41, the boatman gives you a lift - which means you jump to 44. The same with 45 (motor car) and 48 (aeroplane). At 47 the Imp mis-directs you and you find yourself in the bog, and must stay there till you throw a 6. At. 54 another Imp sends you astray, and you are lost in Caries Wood for one turn, and them go back to 34. To win you must either land on number 57 which allows you to jump to 63; or throw the exact number which brings you on to 63. "Your Teeth are Ivory Castles - defend them with Gibbs Dentifrice". Rules placement: on the reverse side Attribution Note: D&W Gibbs, Ltd., the manufacturers of the famous Gibbs dentifrice. Type: race Subject: dental hygene.
