Summary:
Description: The board is encased in a glazed wooden frame. The object of this First World War hand-held game is to roll a ball bearing from the start to the finish, via a circuitous route with traps in strategic places. The ball's path is marked with caricatures of various German figures, starting with The "Kick Off", and scoring the "Goal" in the Kaiser's mouth. Along the way, the player encounters "Little Willie" (outside right), "Von Terpitz" (centre forward), "Von Kluck" (outside left), "Von Bulow" (inside left), "Von Hindenburg" (inside right), "Von der Goltz" (right half), "Von Moltke" (centre half), "Enver Pasha" (left half), "Von Sanders" (left half), "Count Zeppelin" (right half), and finally "Kaiser" (Goal). The Rules for playing are pasted on the underside.
