Summary

Gameboard shows 63 numbered spaces, or "casillas," each illustrated with people, birds, animals, and objects, arranged in a spiral toward the center. The four corners, outside the game, show scenes of children playing outdoors. Instructions for playing the game are in the center of the spiral. This game with which many generations of Mexican children amused themselves, reached a circulation of approximately five million copies.
