About this work
Board game with a spiral track numbered from 1 to 63, expressing the terror and amazement with which the Parisians watched the arrival on French soil of the soldiers of the allied army (Cossacks). In the corners are views of Moscow: the Kremlin, Red Square, the Main Gate, and the house of Mr. Paschkoff (later the Lenin Library). Various squares show Cossacks and weapons. The central field depicts the Cossack camp on the Champs Elysées on March 31, 1814, and the rules of the game in Dutch and French.
