Very nice collectors item. Complete! Book in German and English.

The Hofämterspiel reflects the political relations in Central Europe in the middle of the 15th century. The packing boards are the coats of arms of four kingdoms: France, Germany, Bohemia and Hungary. The one-headed eagle represents the 'regnum teutonicum', the kingdom of Germany (as opposed to a two-headed eagle representing the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation).

Each individual map shows a function or profession that enjoyed official status at a late medieval princely court.

The cards were printed from logs hotsell and then colored by hand and cut by hand. Each suit, in turn, shows members of the royal household — from the court jester to the king's steward, including servants and court officials. These are displayed in a hierarchy, numbered from 1 - 10 in Roman numerals, plus a queen and a king, instead of the more common arrangement of multiple pip cards and three or four court cards. There are a total of 48 cards.
Card size 140 x 100 mm.

The cards are in good condition. 3 cards have folds on the back you can see this. See photo 8 9 and 0
