Gioco di 50 caselle numerate, spirale, antiorario, centripeto. REGOLE: a destra e sinistra sul tavoliere. CASELLE: mute. REFERENZA 1 WHITEHOUSE, Francis Reginald Beaman (pag. 58): THE MAGIC RING. A new game. Replete with Humour and Pleasant Variety. Published Nov. 1st, 1796 by Champante and Whitrow, Jewry Street, Aldgate. An engraving size 22 in X 15 ½ in, hand-coloured, mounted in 9 sections on linen. The game itself measures 14 ½ in X 15 ½ in, the rules, printed from type, are on either side of the game, which consists of a series of ovals between lines of chain running anti-clockwise from No 1 "The City Gate", to 50 "The Magic Ring". The rules declare that the game may be played by any number of persons up to 18 or more. REFERENZA 2 "The Magic Ring: A New Game, Replete with Humour and Pleasant Variety", London: Champante and Whitrow, 1796. With slipcase. (Yale University GV1199 .M34 1796). HOW TO PLAY THE GAME: This game “may be played by any number of persons, from two or three or up to eighteen, or more.” Players encountered multiple hazards as they raced toward the Magic Ring in the center. Landing on The Overturned Waggon (10), for example, could cause quite a delay: “he that meets with this accident, must stay till the broken wheel is mended, which happens as soon as he spins the same number in his two-goes [two turns].” Meeting the Old Scold’s “abusive tongue” (22) would send the player back to space number 18, while the person who landed on The Book (35) “must sit down and study till another come to take it from him, or till he spins an even number in some of his subsequent goes." The slipcase notes that the game is accompanied by a box with a teetotum (used for determining the player’s moves) and counters. While the original wood box and its contents is now lost, it was likely similar to the one on display here.
