Da gennaio a novembre 1845, il drammaturgo britannico Douglas Jerrold pubblicò ogni settimana una serie umoristica di monologhi intitolata "Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures" sulla rivista Punch. Le caratteristiche della signora Caudle furono un successo immediato presso il pubblico britannico. Seguirono presentazioni teatrali, insieme a volumi di raccolte pubblicate sia in Gran Bretagna che negli Stati Uniti. Per sfruttare ulteriormente l'enorme successo della serie di Jerrold, venne realizzato anche questo gioco satirico.

( "The Caudle History", Princeton University Library)
From January to November 1845, the British dramatist Douglas Jerrold published a humorous series of monologues entitled Mrs. Caudle’s Curtain Lectures each week in Punch magazine. The garrulous character of Mrs. Caudle was an immediate hit with the British public. Theatrical presentations of the lectures followed, along with volumes of collected Lectures published in Great Britain and in the United States. To further capitalize on the enormous success of Jerrold’s series, a satirical board game was released.
Composed of thirty-four hand-colored panels, the game follows closely on the thirty-six chapters or lectures published in Punch. There are six bed and five wedding ring squares that might set a player back. On square thirty-three, Mr. Caudle is dressed in mourning over the loss of his wife but in square thirty-four he is jumping for joy on the winning panel.
