This
auction is for ONE solitaire game with reversible lid.
This version of the classic
game for one player comes from the highly respected Nemesis Now collection. The
object of the game is simple: to 'hop' one ball over another, into an empty space,
removing the 'leap-frogged' ball, until only one ball is left in the centre of
the board.
Cast in strong, heavy
polyresin and finished in a grey stone/slate effect, this fabulously presented
Wiccan / Pagan slant on the traditional solitaire game comes complete with 33
green marble (32 + 1 spare) playing counters .
The reversible lid has
a central plaited pentacle (circled pentagram) at its heart with Celtic knot motifs
between the arms. This is surrounded by a border of realistic, hand-painted ring
of intertwined ivy which incorporates three glass marbles in its design on which
the lid rests when in the playing position. 
The
flip side of the lid is the playing surface incorporating four Celtic knot motifs
and 33 hemispherical depressions, each decorated with a plaited pentagram, to
hold the playing pieces (marbles). 
The
side of the solitaire box is decorated with a Celtic plaited design. The marbles
can be stored in the body of the the solitaire board when not in use. The base
of the box sports 3 thin rubber feet to protect the surface on which it is placed. 
Dimensions
(approx): Diameter
of board: 24 cm (just under 9½") 
This
fabulous version of the traditional Solitaire game is brand new, boxed and protected
by moulded polystyrene inserts for safe delivery to your door.
