Each player has their own side to count on, with holes in the middle to keep track of how many games each person has won. With a sliding tray built into the base it holds a deck of cards, 3 brass , and 3 aluminum pegs. The tray locks itself in place when closed so it won't slide open, a gentle pull will open it. The tray has a stop built into it so it won't pull all the way out. Measuring 6" across and 11" long it is easily taken on the road for playing anywhere you happen to be. All the boards are a mix of different woods containing over 40 different pieces of wood glued together to make the patterns. Each board is finished with a hand rubbed Varnish.
