Jeu de la Révolution Française (1791)

A race game for any number of players taking place on a board depicting events of the French Revolution. The game was produced during the revolution, apparently for propaganda purposes. Players advance from the fall of the Bastille towards the National Assembly. Players landing on certain spaces are required to pay tokens and/or suffer other penalties. Players falling into the well must await rescue by another player. A player in prison must await another player to take his place. A player landing on the Death square must return to the start. The winner is the first player to land on the final space, by exact count.
