Victory

This wartime jump and move game has the objective of players to move men across an open field past enemy guards and into an opposing fort. 5 Guards sit along a row in front of their fort. Opposition players can move and jump over the man in front (like checkers) to proceed towards the opposing fort but must follow a line connecting the next space. When the enemy men enter the lines of the fortification the guards attempt to eliminate and remove them by jumping over them. Whoever gets the highest number of men into the enemy's fort wins the game. The national Archives of Australia cites registration of a design by Evan Joseph Roy Simpson for Parlour game entitled The Victory V Game in 1941 —user summary
