Catalogue information
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Salta threatened to suppress drafts (in Germany). Copies were made in different versions, from simple (2.50 Mark) to very luxurious sets (400 Mark). Kaiser Wilhelm II owned a gem-studded specimen. But after 1905, and all the way after World War I, Salta's popularity was over. The players each have 15 pieces of equal value, which are moved with a stick (!, See picture 2). The aim of the game is that the pieces on the other side of the board are played to fixed target spaces. Hitting does not occur in Salta, but there is jumping, but maximum over a stretch. The winner is the player who is the first to bring his pieces into the target position. The victor gets as many points as the number of moves that the opponent still has to make to find out his final situation. Editions very similar to Salta were later published, under different names (for example Sirius van Bütehorn).
