This travelling games board from 15th-century Venice offers multiple gameplay options – on one side is a chessboard, and on the other, there’s a game that involves moving pieces along the coiled body of a dragon.

🐉 Travelling games board, about 1430–1470, Venice. Wood, bone and horn. WA1964.14

Is the dragon game a precursor to this goose game? Or they are different games, only similar by their spiral designs?
