Du Val, Pierre, 1619-1683

Full Title

Le Jeu du Monde dédié à Monsieur, Monsieur le Comte de Vivone, premier gentilhome de chambre du Roy par son très humble et très obéissant serviteur Duval. A Paris chez l'auteur P. Du Val d'Abbeville, avec Privilége du Roy, 1645, et se vendant rue S.t Jacques à l'Espérance

Note

This is one of the earliest geographical games that we have seen. Only one other copy is known of this game, held by the Bibliothèque nationale de France. The object of the game is to progress from the outer parts of the world in towards the center (France) by rolling dice and moving each player's piece from circle to circle on the board. California is shown as an island in circle 5. Duval also made a similar game of France. The rules to the game are shown here https://www.dhi.ac.uk/hartlib/view?docset=main&docname=8A\_06

Le Jeu des François et des Espagnols pour la Paix Par P.D.V. G.D.R. Avec privil. du Roy pour 20 ans, 1660 (The game of the French and Spaniards for Peace).

Note

This game is based on the Franco-Spanish War (1635-1659). The game consists of 26 ovals, each labeled with a date between 1635 until the peace treaty of 1660. Each oval is divided in half: the left half details the progress made by the French in that year, and the right half details the progress made by the Spanish. On the right hand side of the board is a list of rules, outlining the various penalties or prizes for landing on certain ovals. It is a game for up to four players with two dice, and each player has to put up their stake before joining the game. The object is to be the first to land on the final oval of 1660 with an exact throw of the dice. Du Val made several geographic games - see our 6728.000 for another example.
