Kōrero: Cards, board games and puzzles

This is part of the Historic Places Trust's collection of parlour games imported by 19th-century migrants from the United Kingdom. They include squails, a version of tiddlywinks in which small wooden counters are flipped by pressing on them with the edge of a larger counter – the 'squoll' (this game once belonged to the family of the Reverend Vicesimus Lush); snakes and ladders, a board game still common in the 20th century, in which pieces move from square to square, but jump ahead on ladders and backtrack on snakes; a dissected map – a map of the world in the form of a jigsaw puzzle; and dominoes.
