Forthune telling remains a popular pastime for group gatherings or parties. It is most commonly done with decks of cards. Board games made the game more appealing, perhaps, to skeptics and people who shunned card playing. McLoughlin Brothers of New York produced a fortune telling board game in the late 19th century. The game board features card designs, there are individual pieces for the players, and a magic wand. The game board is printed on the inside box bottom and the playing pieces fit into a compartment built next to the board. A decorative box cover design complete the package.
