A little over 200 years ago, this little game began to catch on in the U.K. It was not a new concept, historically, but an extremely convenient adaptation of game pieces that nearly everyone - or at least every English pub - would have. It's a predecessor of games like Halma and Chinese Checkers, and can still be found today under a host of different names.
