McLoughlin's "Game of the Bewildered Travelers" lacks its instruction sheet. A high-quality game, it features a wood box covered with paper, and a board with a hole for the teetotum, or spinner. Other travel games sold well during this period. This particular example probably relates to Mark Twain's best-selling book "The Innocents Abroad," published in 1869. The board indicates a race stye of play.
