Juegos de la fortification
A board game to be played with some form of counters. The game is described as one "in which the different works that serve to defend the country are exactly set out according to the newest methods, with definitions and a short and easy explanation of the terms used in this art." It emphasises the importance of the arts of geometry and suggests that the two games possible with the sheet will serve to introduce children to military mathematics.
