Board game “The Rhine Journey”

The carton shows the Rhine river in the background, with Germany personified by “Germania” in the foreground. Further ‘typically German’ attributes include a German flag, an oak branch, as well as the “Wilhelm” steamship afloat on the river. The folding game board comprises 100 numbered fields with views of towns and landscapes; the Rhine is featured in the middle.The game is an indication that the Rhine valley was particularly romanticized in the 19th century. The area with its castles and vineyards became a place of longing and ultimately developed into a typical destination for tourists from abroad within Germany.
