During the first quarter of the twentieth century, Acey-Duecey was a popular pastime of U.S. Sailors. Similar to backgammon, the dice and board needed to play the game could be easily packed and stored while aboard ones ship. This colorful Acey-Duecey board was printed on canvas and incorporates a seahorse, mermaid, compass rose, U.S. Navy Officer Rank Insignias and U.S. Navy Enlisted Rating Badges.
