The new stamp game. A lottery game for young people , also known as a stamp game , is a board and placement game in the style of a lottery game for up to eight players. It was published by the publishing house JW Spear & Sons in Nürnberg-Doos around 1910.

Material and style of play

There were eight game boards in the game , on each of which there are six pictures assigned to a country for mail delivery in the respective countries, each with four postage stamps from the respective country. The scenes of the mail delivery contain on the one hand typical clothing such as the Russian fur hat, the Turkish fez , the Dutch clogs or the Swiss lederhosen , stereotypes of the respective countries and typical scenes and accessories, including the snow in some countries, castles, reindeer and sled dogs . There are also 192 rectangular tokens with the corresponding postage stamps, on the back of which the value and the corresponding country are printed.

At the beginning of the game, the game boards are distributed evenly to the players so that each player receives at least one game board. Then the stamp tiles are placed in a sack or box and gradually drawn and called out by a game master. If you have the postage stamp on your board, you register and receive the corresponding stamp. The first player to cover all markers on his tableau wins the game.
