An antique, playful divination game called " The Game of Triangles – A Children's Oracle ," presented in its original cardboard box with gold lettering. This parlor game is based on an oracle principle: after formulating a question, the player rolls three numbered triangular dice, the combination of which corresponds to an answer found on the game cards. The printed texts offer predictions or advice in the spirit of popular oracle games of the late 19th century, blending amusement, curiosity, and lighthearted superstition. This type of game was enjoyed at family gatherings and in drawing rooms for its playful yet mysterious nature.
