This board game retells the famous story of Robinson Crusoe in French. The illustration on the box lid depicts the desert island, with Crusoe holding his musket and Friday, his freed companion, in a posture of supplication at his feet. There are several smaller images depicting scenes from the book in the corners of the box. It can be played in two ways, as a lotto, or as a pursuit game from England to South America and back. The game mimics the events from the book, including scenes of shipwreck, discovery, conflict with the natives, Crusoe's friendship with Friday and final rescue.
The board game consists of 6 lithograph plates, 48 printed cardboard tokens, 6 pink numbered cards, 5 figures on metal stands, 13 coloured markers, a cup and a papier mache tray.
