The Captain's Mistress Game We Games Wooden Cabinet Hardwood Balls In Box

There is a persistent legend that Captain Cook used this game nightly to relax with his fellow shipmates. He spent so much time playing the game, it came to be known as The Captain's Mistress.

The object of the game is simple, yet the strategies are endless.  Players try to line up four of their hardwood "rounds" in a row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally (the classic game of 4-in-a-row, much like the modern-day game of Connect 4).

The Old World solid wooden game box/cabinet is beautifully made with brass fittings, burlwood inlay on top, mitered joints and a lustrous, stained finish and an emerald billiard style felt inside cabinet.

Game Box measures 7.625" x 5.25" x 2.125".  An ideal size for travel.

At game's end, pull the bottom retaining "gangplank" and the hardwood "rounds" drop back into the cabinet.

Includes 44 wooden balls (22 in each color), gangplank, instructions and original box.
