1900191128Japan: Suga Kaikado c.1900. A juroku musashi board game based on the Boxer Rebellion with pieces decorated with the national flags of the members of the Eight-Nation Alliance. The board is also an advertisement for a company called Suga Kaikado which sold books stationery and trinkets. We have traced no other copies. Juroku musashi developed in the Edo period as a popular board game. One player controls the "parent" piece and the other controls 16 "child" pieces; the goal is for the "parent" to capture at least 10 "children" by jumping over them or for the "children" to box the "parent" into a corner so it can't move. The "parent" begins play at the centre of the board and the "children" begin along the edges of the main square. This board is based on the Boxer Rebellion and its major battles. The centre of the board where the "parent" begins is marked as Tientsin where the Eight-Nation Alliance rescued a besieged population of foreigners on 13-14 July 1900. Each "child" also begins at a battle location including Beicang Yangcun and the Taku Forts. The lower triangle features Peking Castle Jehol Rehe and the International Legations. Colour paper game board 261 x 371 mm. With 17 colour card game pieces each 20 x 20 mm. Text in Japanese. Print bright a little soiled and nicked at edges pieces rubbed: a very good copy. unknown
