Antique Game of Squails

19th century
Description

An unusual table game of Squails by Jaques. Original label to mahogany box. Sliding lid with the box containing wooden discs, ja lead jack and swoggle/measurer. The game is similar to bowls, played on a table, the objective is to hit discs with the heel of the hand from the edge of the table at a small lead target in the centre. If the jack is moved more than six inches it is replaced. Once all sixteen Squails have been played, they are scored 16 for the squail nearest to the target down to 1 for the squail furthest away. Squails can be directed with the aim of knocking an opponents squail away, as much as to end up near the target, in the same manner as for bowls.

Squails was first published by John Jaques of London on 26 April, 1857
