Solitaire is reputed to have been invented by a nobleman confined in the Bastille prison during the early years of the French Revolution. The object of the game is to remove all but one marble, which should ideally end up in the center of the board. Once you’ve tried your skills at this game – you will agree that it is very addicting. This beautifully crafted puzzle board is made from solid hardwood and can hold 37 unique Venetian glass marbles. Each individually hand blown glass marbles, full of color, against a solid ebony board. Art in itself, none as functional and fun as solitaire.
