The name of this old French game means "Don't get angry", and was probably inspired by Sorry or Ludo in that four pieces must get onto a track and around the board to home. However, it seems to be a more basic game, with no slides or shortcuts. The game has a two-sided board, with a 44-space circular track on one side for up to four players, and a 60-space circle with six outward "U"s on the reverse for up to six players. It comes with six sets of four wooden pawns (red, green, ivory, brown, purple and black) and a wooden dice cup about 4" tall. The game is undated, but the illustration on the box suggests 1930s or earlier. The picture features two men in double-breasted suits, sitting in rattan chairs and playing the game on a table, with countryside seen through the window behind them. The box and game board read "Model Depose," and the box bears the publisher's logo. The logo depicts a mermaid sitting on a rock and a horizontal diamond with the letters "ESTREMO."
