Cloth-backed, hand-colored folding engraving with slip cover. Shows a publication date of May 27th, 1807. Board is 18.5 x 16', cover is 7 x 5'.Game is played with two six-sided dice, but while I have pictures of the case and board, I can find no explantion of game play other than this quote from 'Deconstructing Sondheim', a March 8, 1993 New Yorker article by Stephen Schiff:When you enter his five-story town house in midtown Manhattan, the first thing you notice, besides an enormous black poodle named Max, is his antique-game collection: on the walls, in glass museum cases, on various low tables. Most of the items look faintly sinister: here is something called Schimmel, or Ball and Hammer and here an inscrutable British concoction, Squails, and, behind the sofa, his earliest acquisition-the ghastly New and Fashionable Game of the Jew, a dice game devised in 1811 that, according to Sondheim, 'taught kids to be anti-Semitic. But all the games you see here are very nice to look at and real boring,' he adds. 'This thing about games-I'm not really fascinated with games.' - BoardGameGeek
