"Fox & Geese" by Shirley Watts - note the brass inlays at the game line intersections.
An old-English game which is unusual in that the players do not have matched pieces - one plays as the "fox", with one strong piece, while the other controls 13 less powerful "geese". The geese can win by trapping the fox or occupying all his "home" positions (the dark area). The fox wins by "eating" enough geese, by jumping over them as in draughts, to prevent them winning.
