French Vintage Board Game, c. 1900
This is a vintage French board game called 'Jeu D'Assaut,' which translates to 'Game of Assault.' The game board depicts a military assault, likely inspired by colonial conflicts of the late 19th century. The imagery includes soldiers, fortifications, and scenes of battle, reflecting the historical context of European imperialism.
The game's rules, printed in French, describe a strategic conflict between two players: one controlling the attacking force and the other defending the fortress. The game pieces, typically made of wood, are used to simulate troop movements and tactical maneuvers. The signature 'JFJ, Paris' suggests a publisher or manufacturer based in Paris, a hub for game production during this period.
Such games were popular forms of entertainment and also served as educational tools, teaching players about military strategy and historical events. The game's design and components offer insights into the cultural attitudes and historical events of the time.
The board has a bit of warping and while the box is complete, it’s sides are a bit broken (as are most games after children are done with them :)). Most if not all of the original games pieces are also in their own box.
