REFERENZA 1:
The Game of the Goose was certainly known in Scandinavian countries. An interesting reference is contained in an 18th century account of travels written by William Richardson: "The City of Copenhagen is irregularly and too closely built... The palace is a heavy inelegant building: and the gardens of Rosenberg exhibit nothing but narrow lanes between high hedges, and dull canals. I do assure you, and thr fact may be of service to those who gaze on the outside of a palace with admiration, that in a room in the mansion of the Danish Princes, where we were told, the King and his Ministers held councils of state, we beheld - the Royal Game of the Goose."
This will no doubt have been an elaborate goose board, rather than a simple printed sheet. Nevertheless, Richardson evidently did not hold the game in high regard. The oldest surviving printed game of the Goose type from Denmark appears to be the Abespil (Game of the Monkey) published by J. R. Thiele, dated 1787 on the sheet. It is a classic Game of the Goose, except that the geese are replaced by satirical figures of monkeys in human guise. Evidently a range of printed games was available in 19th-century Denmark. The Nordisk boghandlertidende (Nordic Bookseller Gazette). Volume 9 lists the stock of the bookdealer F. Chr. Pio of Copenhagen. There are several entries which are race games of the Goose type, including:
- Abe-spil (Monkey Game: board, rules and two dice, 18 kroner)
- Det nye Abespil (The New Monkey Game: beautiful board with box, 60 kroner)
- Det nye Gaasespil (The New Goose Game: board rules and two dice, 15 kroner)
- Det nye Robinsonspil (The New Robinson Game: beautiful board with box, 60 kroner)
- Gaasespillet (Goose Game, beautiful board with box, 60 kroner)
- Jagtspellet (Hunt game, board, rules and three dice, 18 kroner)
- Post-og-Reisespil (Post-and Journey Game: beautiful board with bos, 60 kroner)
- Robinsonspil (Robinson Game: board, rules and one die, 12 kroner)
- Reisen til Amerika (Journey to America: beautiful board with box, 60 kronos)
It is interesting that most of the games are offered in basic and deluxe boxed versions. It is of course not clear from the Danish titles whether these might not have been imported from Germany, as the assembly of titles may indicate. In support of this, the Carrington Bolton collection lists only one game with a Danish title (a Gaasespil) and notes that it is of German manufacture. George Garde has made a study of the Game of the Goose, which includes images of several from Scandinavian countries. These include several Scandinavian versions of German games: Det nyaste Gas-spelet (a lithograph of a classic 63-space Game of the Goose by Oehmigke and Riemschneider of Neu-Ruppin, c.1900) Reisen omkring Verden (Journey round the World) with a double-circle track of 41 spaces, by Gustav Kuhn, Neu-Ruppin, and a similar 49-space Journey round the Earth by the same publisher. Kuhn also produced Resan till Amerika (the Trip to America) in the Swedish language. This small sample would appear to confirm that the German publishers of Bilderbogen were the main suppliers of the Scandinavian game market, but that often they were enterprising enough to provide their games in translation.
