The modestly named The Game, billed as "The Superior Game of chance & skill" and "more exciting than backgammon", is played on a circular grid with numbered spaces. Players roll the dice and move pieces of their own as dictated by the results, trying to capture the pieces of other players. A player with no remaining pieces is out of the game, but until that happens, eliminated pieces can be brought back into the game by rolling doubles.
