This game consists of a circular map of France surrounded by smaller circular maps of (clockwise from the top) Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, England, and Holland. In a box top left, the title is given and below it the inventor is stated to be Sr. Desmartins, Ingenieur du Roy et Commissaire Ordinaire des Guerres. Opposite right is a box stating simply: Nouveau Jeu avec Deux Sortes des Dez. The game is not listed in D’Allemagne. Thierry Depaulis (correspondence, 30 July 2009), notes that there is a very rare rulebook: Le jeu des nations. A Paris 1674, no publisher. The title-page says 1674 but the colophon is dated 1675. The ‘Extrait du privilège du Roy’ gives the exclusive right of publication ‘au Sieur D., en considération des [sic] ses services’. At the end of the book is ‘A Paris, chez Hubert Jaillot, joignant les Grands Augustins, au bout du Pont-Neuf, au deux Globes.’ The book contains also Le jeu du Tourtable (or Touretable). There is a copy preserved in the United States Playing-Card Company’s Playing-Card Museum [see Hargrave, 1930 and Zollinger, 1996]. Depaulis (1994) identifies the author as C.H.F. Desmartins, ‘ingénieur du Roy et commissaire ordinaire des guerres’ of Louis XIV who invented several games, including a sort of military billiards in 1673. In 1676, Desmartins published Instructions pour un jeu de cartes nouvellement inventé, avec un nouveau jeu de
‘touretable’ dedicated to the Duc du Maine, colonel général des Suisses (Paris: s.n. (ruë du Bouloy, près Saint Honoré, à l’hostel du Saint Esprit), M. DC. LXXVI): that game is based on European infantry and requires 52 special cards.
The present authors have not seen the rulebook for the Jeu des Nations and hence the playing principles of the Waddesdon game cannot be given here.

"The New Game of Geography of Nations (Le Nouveau Jeu de Geographie des Nations)",1675. Charles-Francois-Henry Desmartins (active c. 1675), engraved by Pierre Brissart (d.1682), published by Alexis-Hubert Jaillot (b. c.1632, d.1712); etching and engraving. Waddesdon Manor, The Rothschild Collection (Rothschild Family Trust).
This game about Europe combines maps of the individual countries as well as personifications of their perceived national characteristics. Since this is a French game, France occupies the centre and is exempt from humorous characterisation. The rules are not included on the game itself but we know that it was to be played with two sorts of dice. The publisher, Alexis-Hubert Jaillot, was also a sculptor and cartographer. He produced the L'Atlas Nouveau in 1681, which led to him being named Geographer to the King in 1686.
