Summary
A board for playing either Draughts or Chess, backed with bright green glossy paper. The playing side is printed on linen-reinforced paper printed with green and cream squares outlined in black. The board can be folded in half by means of a black linen 'hinge' at the centre. The board is quite stained, scratched and well-used.
