In the spectacular world of Belle Époque dexterity games , this fascinating " Satan's Feast " immediately captures attention with its bold visuals and mischievous mechanics. On the box, a devil in a crimson costume prepares to plunge snakes into a bubbling dish. Inside, the chromolithographed artwork presents a grimacing portrait of Satan ready to devour the small, movable snake. The aim of the game is simple and devilishly funny: to get the articulated snake into the demon's mouth. A classic of late 19th-century reflex games, as curious as it is decorative.
