About this work

This is a fun game featuring various professions, some of which bring prosperity while others are less lucrative. Beneath each profession is a brief description of the corresponding fate. Three dice determine which square the player lands on. We see musicians, a tobacco merchant, a goldsmith, a bookseller, a printer, a carpenter, among others, and lastly the artists, who, according to the caption, do not fare well.
