"Het nieuw vermakelyk Arlequin spel" (The New Entertaining Harlequin Game) is a printed board game featuring a jester in a Harlequin costume. Created by Glenisson & Van Genechten between 1833 and 1856, the game board features a circle of numbered spaces that players would move around using dice or spinners. The jester is holding a bag with the number 7 on it. It is an example of 19th-century Dutch printmaking and board games. The use of a jester as a central image is a playful and whimsical element, reflecting the lighthearted nature of the game. The image is set against a background of text, indicating the game's instructions. The printed board games were a popular form of entertainment for families and friends.
