Each of the twenty squares display images of the wife, husband, or both, representing various situations in a marriage - with explanatory titles above the image. The first square depicts the wife handing the husband her dowry, the last one a family with children. The squares are marked with a number corresponding to the throw of the dice, as well as a P (paga) or T (tira) and a number, indicating if the player should pay or take coins from the pool.
