About this game

Take turns rolling and moving around the spiral. A goose repeats your move, the bridge jumps ahead, and the inn makes you lose turns. To win, land exactly on 63. If a roll takes you past it, move backward by the extra spaces.

Choose between a modern public-domain drawing and a Dutch board illustrated by Daan Hoeksema around 1910–1920. The same rules apply on either board. A local save records the game after each roll, including the dice generator state.
