This mid-19th Century game is laid out like Game of Goose, with an inward spiral of 63 spaces, but it is based on the 1844 novel Le Juif-Errant (The Wandering Jew), by Eugene Sue. The starting (lower-left) corner of the board has an impage of Sue at work writing the novel. The other corners and each space on the track show a character or incident from the 1400-page book. The center of the board shows the Wandering Jew arriving in Paris, and also includes the rules.

As in Game of Goose, players make an initial ante, and may be forced to pay more into the pot as a result of landing on certain squares. The first player to reach the end of the track takes the pot.


[based on a Book by French Socialist Eugene Sue.. a boy named Sue? yep]

kinda makes Me think of Jim 'Mr Mojo' Morrison for some reason? He Died in Paris of a Heroin Overdose.[or did He? ha ha]

The 'Game of Goose?'

The game's origins are uncertain. According to Adrien Seville, the earliest recorded mention to the game was in a book of sermons by the Dominican friar Gabriele da Barletta published in 1480.[2] Some connect the game with the Phaistos Disc because of its spiral shape but, as Caroline Goodfellow notes, the two games "are unlikely to have been the same".[3] A version of the game was given as a gift by Francesco I de' Medici of Florence to King Philip II of Spain sometime between 1574 and 1587.[4] In June 1597 John Wolfe enters the game in the Stationers' Register, as "the newe and most pleasant game of the goose".[5] Another theory links the game to the Pilgrims' Way to Santiago, or the Road to Saint James of Compostela, in Galicia. According to this hypothesis, the game was invented by the Knights Templar, who were in charge of protecting those on pilgrimage to the main holy cities: CompostelaRome and Jerusalem
