About the Item
having a removable and reversible rectangular top with raised gallery molded edges, the top a checker or chess board, the underside (later) covered in green felt for card play, the interior well with the arrows of backgammon or trictrac as well as holes for counters along the wall, the adjacent hinged wells used to store various gaming pieces, the top raised on elegant cabriole legs of solid walnut.
Trictrac (also tric trac or tric-trac) is a French board game of skill and chance for two players that is played with dice on a game board similar, but not identical, to that of backgammon. It was "the classic tables game" of France in the way that backgammon is in the English-speaking world.
Trictrac's gaming interest lies in its multiple combinations, the importance of decision-making and its comprehensive rules which have been well documented and remained stable since the early 17th century. It requires constant attention from the players whether or not it is their turn. Its vocabulary, which is very rich, frequently occurs in French literature.
The object of the game is not to get out the men as quickly as possible as in jacquet or backgammon, but to score as many points as possible. The game usually ends before all the men have been borne off.
Trictrac was very popular in France at the royal court and in aristocratic circles in the 17th and 18th centuries. It experienced a renaissance during the Restoration before almost disappearing at the end of the 19th century. It was one of a family of games of skill and chance that included backgammon, then known in France as tous tables, and jacquet, which was much simpler and did not appear until around 1800.
