This rare and humorous puzzle features two intrusive bourgeois trying to intrude on a table of students. Composed of ten illustrated wooden cubes, the aim is to arrange them so that the two bourgeois remain at the end and are forced to pay the bill. Inspired by a logic game popular in Belle Époque cafés, this puzzle combines social irony, typical 19th-century illustrations, and subtle mechanics. The original box, colorful and expressive, retains its printed instructions, which is exceptional.
