About this game

World War 2 era game made for the Military. Games is double sided board about 4"X4". Unique cloth strap to tie to leg while playing. I suppose this was for play while riding in Jeeps or other transport. Little cloth pouch is attached to board and holds colored wooden pins. The instruction book gives detailed instructions to play 15 different games and 10 different puzzles. Comes in nice box, this one is tattered, taped and has light stains. Probably a nice little game set for a soldier. Checkers and board can also be used for a Cribbage board. Game names are PEG CHECKERS, REAR-GUARD, FORT, EIGHT ABREAST, TURK CHECK, CRIBBAGE BOARD, EGYPT, BAKER'S DOZEN, CRISS-CROSS, FIVE PEG-TAT-TOE, GO-PED, PEG-TAT-TOE, TWENTY WAVES AND TWO MARINES, FOX-HOLE, DOUBLE CROSS, Puzzel names are ROOKIE, EIGHT GOBS, SQUARE CIRCLE, BORDER PATROL, SEVEN-MEN CHARGE, FOUR-MEN CHARGE, EIGHT WAACS AND A SERGEANT (my favorite ;)), COUNT OFF, STARBOARD CROSS, 32-PEG PUZZLE. Have not played most yet but some has a degree of difficulty.
