Le petit bonhomme vit encore (8000.d.1380)

This game is beautifully preserved in its original box. Its title, ‘Le petit bonhomme vit encore’ means ‘the little man lives on’. Players need to keep the man alive, guiding him through pitfalls including broken bridges, a precipice and a guardhouse, on the way to safety in the Temple of Fortune. The game pieces consist of thirty colour lithograph cards and a figure on a mahogany stand, complete with printed instructions, two bone dice and a shaker cup.
