ne of the more popular casino<br />
games of our age, Roulette was in<br />
widespread use in the 18th C.<br />
in Europe and America. Being<br />
occasionally outlawed, a portable<br />
roulette was invented, which was<br />
popular with officers of the Imperial<br />
Army and taken on campaign.<br />
Simplified with less numbers,<br />
it still allows for fun gambling.<br />
A sophisticated travel version of<br />
the elaborate Monte Carlo table on<br />
mounted wheels, it dates back to<br />
the Victorian era, made to order for<br />
the Army & Navy stores.<br />

searching global chess set<br />
auctions for a classic, extra<br />
large tournament or academy<br />
chess set. To no avail.<br />
In the end we asked our<br />
master carver to do the pieces<br />
exactly as prescribed for the<br />
original 19th C. tournaments.<br />
Which of course is the<br />
Staunton set, defined by<br />
their majestic King and<br />
