game of the goose

The Game of the Goose is thought to be the prototype for many of the commercial European race games of recent centuries. The game is therefore mostly played in Europe and seen as family entertainment. Old commercial verions of the game feature typical old european characteristics such as an old well and kids in clothes from the 1880s and 1890s. It is claimed that the game was originally a gift from Francesco de Medici of Florence to King Philip II of Spain sometime between 1574 and 1587. In June 1597 John Wolfe had attested that the game existed in London.
