Hello Renoh,

Thank you for your question.

I found a number of locations where you may purchase the Fox and Geese
board game.

==============================================

Masters Games Ltd., an Internet shop selling quality traditional
games, carries the game “Fox and Geese”. This game is available for
online purchase. In addition this product contains the medieval board
game Nine Men’s Morris.

Description:

“Two old English games in one elegant product. 

Made in the North of England, the well-finished wooden game board is
accompanied by beautifully made wooden pieces and a quaintly shaped
red painted fox
On one side the wooden board features a Fox and Geese board. This game
dates back to the middle ages and is unusual in that the sides are
unequal. The sly fox attempts to capture the 24 geese. Meanwhile, the
geese try to hem the fox in so that he can't move.
Nine Mens Morris, also known as Merrills, Mill and Merels, goes back
even further - evidence has been found for the game in Egypt. More
recently, references in the works of Shakespeare have given it an
image of the archetypal medieval board game.
Board is approximately 20 x 20cm, pieces are 2.5cm high.”
