Summary
A wooden gaming board consisting of three peg boards joined to form a triangular shape. Along each side are six bone or ivory rectangles each having ten holes for pegs. There is one hole on each side at the end of a set of rectangles. There is a striped border inlaid just inside the edges of the board containing pieces coloured black, light brown and cream. There is a wooden 'Smartie-shaped' foot under each corner and a rectangular piece of wood half-way along the underside of one side which swings on a screw to reveal a storage compartment (possibly for the scoring pegs).
