A spectacular illustrated dexterity game with a circus theme , " The Balancing Toton " blends skill and suspense. The principle: slide the toton (a wooden toy) down an inclined board and guide it deftly to the desired numbered square without letting it fall into another. The delicately compartmentalized, lithographed metal board offers 17 squares to reach or avoid, depending on the chosen rule. Each player tries their luck using the numbered wooden toton, set against a backdrop evoking clowns and the world of traveling shows. The box also contains the rare and valuable original printed rulebook.
