A spin occurs at each cross roads and the first spin must be left, right or forward. Various rewards and forfeits are given along the roads and must be complied with. The winner is the player who reaches the Conqueror's Castle first. Like the Cottage of Content, the roads have humorous names and little groups of people. For Example: In Great Coat Lane, a beggar stands by a ditch and the penalty being `Pay 1 for help over the Ditch'. In Hobble Heath a family is bogged down and must `Pay 2 for Washing'. In Tight Fit Lane, a fat man is attempting to get through a turnstile, and is asked to `Pay 1 for Assistance'. Before attempting to pass along Mad Bull Lane, the player is told to `Take 2 from the pool to raise Courage'. Passing the Inn at Fillpot Lane, the player has to `Take 2 to Refresh'. The playing sheet folds into cloth covered boards bearing a pictorial label which also shows characters and buildings from the sheet itself. Rules placement: on the game as it is played Descriptive line: Hand coloured game, The Journey, published in England by William Spooner between 1837 and 1846. REFERENZA 2 WHITEHOUSE, Francis Reginald Beaman, (pag. 64): THE JOURNEY, or Cross Roads to Conqueror’s Castle. London. W. Spooner, 259 Regent Street, Oxford Street. A lithograph size 16 ¾ in X 22 in, hand-coloured, mounted in 12 sections on linen, folded into hinged boards, cloth-covered, with picture label on front. The game comprises a number of roads and paths leading from the starting place at the foot of the sheet to the castle at the top. Humorous figures occupy the spaces between the roads, the latter bearing such names as “Catch-cold Road", “Lollipop Lane", "Crackskull Common". Not dated, but prior to 1836. REFERENZA 3 "William Spooner publia aussi un jeu très semblable, qui portait comme titre "Le voyage ou Croisée des chemins pour le chateau du conquérant". Utilisant des légendes humoristiques et le meme format que "La maison de la satisfacion", le jeu est moins moral mais propose des difficultés que l'on doit surmonter. Par exemple, avant de passer le long du sentier du taureau fou, on dit au joueur: "prenez 2 à la cagnotte pour augmenter votre courage". Le voyage est une lithographie peinte à la main, publiée pa William Spooner entre 1837 et 1846. L'impression originale était antérieure à 1836." (GOODFELLOW Caroline) REFERENZA 4 "William Spooner was also the publisher of a very similar game, which bore the title "The Journey or Cross Roads to the Conqueror's Castle". Using humorous road titles and the same format of play as "The Cottage of Content", the game is less moral but poses difficulties that must be overcome. For example before attempting to pass along Mad Bull Lane, the player is told to "take 2 from the Pool to raise your courage". The Journey is a hand-coloured lithograph which was published by William Spooner between 1837 and 1846. The original imprint was prior to 1836."
