J.H. Singer's late 19th century board game "Posting" features a medieval character illustration on the box cover. But the game title, designed to appeal to boys, refers to the act of enlisting or being promoted in the military service. So the game's box illustration shows a boy, with his pack across his shoulder, going away to enlist. The game's play resembles other standard race-type games.
