"Uilenspel" is an anonymous 18th-century Dutch game board. The circular board, featuring an owl in the center, is surrounded by a ring of numbers and a series of figures depicting animals and objects, including a sickle, a key, and a fish. The board's design, printed in black and white, reflects the popular woodcuts of the time. This game board is believed to have been part of a social game, possibly similar to "The Game of Goose," where players would move along the board based on dice rolls, attempting to land on specific squares to win or avoid penalties.
