Antique Folk Art Fox and Geese Game Board with (Complete Set of) Hand-carved Pegs and Verse on Reverse 1972 done by a 14 yearThis is an antique handmade fox and geese game board, with more than enough hand carved wooden pegs to play (plus a few more of another sort that fit the holes as well.) There is a handwritten verse on the reverse, readable with some effort, beginning "Be happy in life," making me think this was likely made as a gift for a child, or perhaps as a wedding gift long ago. The rules for fox and geese a 2 player strategy game dating back to the Middle Ages
