Solitaire (with Fox and Geese)

This game for one player traces back to an unlucky French aristocrat who was thrown into prison by the Sun King Louis XIV. He passed the time away playing an improvised Fox and the Geese game, from which the present day Solitaire originally developed. The player jumps with a single marble over other marbles - the jumped over marbles are consequently removed from the board, leaving one final one remaining on the middle spot. This special edition includes the rules for Fox and the Geese as well as Wolves and Sheep (for 2 players).
