c1860 - The Golden Egg Game, A Merry Round Game by Ogilvy
This game about trying to possess both the “golden egg” and the Golden Egg card at the same time – while paying fines etc as descirbed on other cards.
Golden Egg – Condition – Cards are thick and used (five appear to us to have come from another deck as they are slightly firmer and the backs are a slightly different color) (32 + Golden Egg Game Card), The Golden Goose Card has a forfeit handwritten at the top.
The rules mention a “golden egg” which is passed to the player that last who turned up an egg card. There is no reference to the Golden Goose in the rules which seems strange, and there is no forfiet on this card (apart from the handwritten one).
Possibly the Golden Egg Card was passed round and the Game Card is the Golden Goose. A wood painted golden egg is in the box (and the base of the box has been scrapped away to allow the box lid to close over the egg.)
Rules – photocopy (and may be from a different version of this game (hence the confusion with the egg being passed around)) / Box – original wooden box – base has a crack one side missing a very small piece at base (has been reglued) – Lid repaired at one end and does not fit perfectly – picture on lid clean and good
