Devil Amongst The Tailors

Posted on 02:01 by Unknown

I've featured a few Devil Amongst The Tailors tables on here already, though to be honest they've all been fairly insubstantial affairs, more toy than game. The table shown here is a modern, full size one, and as such a delight to play. It's also located in a very good pub, the Jolly Brewer in Stamford, which is also home to a team in the local Pushpenny League as well as the usual Pool, Darts, Cards and Dominoes.

It's only when you get the chance to play on a sturdy board like this that a full appreciation of the skill of the game can be gained. A very fine old table can be played at the Stag Inn, Kimberley in Nottinghamshire, which I hope to photograph (and play) at some point in the near future.
