Mensch ärgere Dich nicht
Mensch ärgere Dich nicht (English: Man, Don't Get Angry) is a German race game developed by Josef Friedrich Schmidt in 1907/1908. Some 70 million copies have been sold since its introduction in 1914 and it is played in many European countries. The name derives from the fact that a peg is sent back to the "out" field
when another peg lands on it, similar to the later game Sorry! It is a cross and circle game with the circle collapsed onto the cross, similar to the Indian game Pachisi, the Colombian game Parqués, the American games Parcheesi, Aggravation, and Trouble, the French game Jeu des petits chevaux, the Chinese Aeroplane
chess and the English game Ludo.
