Fox and Geese
Author: Old Sturbridge VillageKey Words: board game, pegs
Description: Peg games such as Fox & Geese were favorites in early American homes and taverns, and continued to be popular throughout the 19th century. Fox & Geese, a game in existence as early as the 14th century, was originally played on a 33 hole board; when Solitaire was popularized in the latter part of the 18th century (tradition has it that it was invented by a prisoner in the Bastille), the Fox & Geese game was transferred to the 37 hole Solitaire board.
The number of geese pitted against the fox has fluctuated over the years but the rules have remained basically unchanged: the fox, represented by a single peg, has to prevent the geese, represented by all the other pegs, from surrounding him. In the Solitaire version, all pegs but one must be removed from the board, with the final move ending in a designated hole. Game board is hand made of solid native hardwood; the set includes a full set of game pegs, as well as a history of the game and instructions.

The game also offers a first-hand try at living in a barter community. Unlike today, money is scarce and so players must trade home-made goods for necessities. Whether you are Christian Fairhill, Eliza Oglethorpe, or any of the other colonists, you get the chance to journey through the colonial town on the game board and live the early American life. Perhaps you are an indentured servant trying to buy your freedom or the customs official who can collect taxes. You can visit shops, trade on Market Day, or catch the latest news at the Tavern.
