Question
Greetings,

I am looking for an original wooden troque game (1950's). It seems fairly easy to find the plastic set from the 1960's, but I recall (fondly!) how much I enjoyed my game with the little wooden pieces when I was a little girl.

Can you help direct me?

Thanks so much,

Cindy

Answer
Hello Cindy,

I tried to find some of these games at some of the wooden dealers I've seen on the net and no one makes this game.  I do have suggestion for you though.  There is a nice looking board for troke on ebay and I think it is wooden but with plastic playing pieces.  You could take a series of dowel rods and make the three different sized playing pieces pretty easily.  Honestly it would probably look pretty neat as well, not to say anything of heirloom quality.
