This game is so simple that any child who can read may learn to play it. It is not simply a game of chance, but in every move there is an opportunity for the exercise of the judgment. The accompanying cut represents the game board. Two, three, or four can play, and each player is represented by one counter, or man, which is entered at infancy, and by various means regulated by the throw of a tetotum, or die, passes through school, college, industry, success, perseverance, etc., to wealth or happy old age; or through idleness, intemperance, gambling, crime, etc., to disgrace, poverty, ruin, suicide, or prison.
