Jaques' original design Hit-a-Pin Bagatelle board is based on an original design as supplied personally to Queen Victoria over 100 years ago further enforcing Jaques wonderful history and its links with the Royal family. The Queen was heard to be delighted with her bagatelle board game.
The Jaques Bagatelle board evolved from efforts to bring out more Jaques Indoor Games. History records the existence of table-based games back to the 15th Century, and a 19th-century Jaques Bagatelle is preserved in the Superb Jaques Museum. While some Bagatelle board games used side-rail pockets, more modern Bagatelle boards became smaller and had the holes placed in strategic areas in the middle of the table. This is what gave Jaques the Idea for their Hit-a-Pin Bagatelle board.
