Gedag beste Heren en Dames,
Ik zou graag een bordspel spelen, de layout waarvan u kan zien in bijlage.
Helaas weet ik de naam noch de spelregels van desbetreffend spel.
Graag had ik dan ook van jullie geweten of u het spel en de regels kent.
:P:xo_O
Dear Sirs and Madames,
I would rejoice whilst playing a boardgame, the layout of which can be regarded in attachment.
Unfortunately I know neither the name nor the rules of conduct for said game.
I would be honoured to know by your telling whether you are a connoisseur regarding all or some aspects of this game.

Oh god, this looks familiar. Incoming shoop of your picture.
:edit: Ok, if this is what it reminds me of, pic related.

I have no clue what the rules are or what it's called, but if it is what I remember, there was something important about the corners, in a sort of "loop around and capture a piece" way.

That's Nine Men's Morris.

EDIT to copy and paste from link:

Rules of play

Each player has nine pieces, or "men", which move among the board's twenty-four intersections. As in checkers, the object of the game is to leave the opposing player with fewer than three pieces or no legal moves.

Placing the pieces
The board at the beginning of the game, before any pieces have been placed.

The game begins with an empty board. Players take turns placing their pieces on empty intersections. If a player is able to form a row of three pieces along one of the board's lines, he has a "mill" and may remove one of his opponent's pieces from the board; removed pieces may not be placed again. Players must remove any other pieces first before removing a piece from a formed mill. Once all eighteen pieces have been placed, players take turns moving.

Moving the pieces

To move, a player slides one of his pieces along a board line to an empty adjacent intersection. If he cannot do so, he has lost the game.

As in the placement stage, a player who aligns three of his pieces on a board line has a mill and may remove one of his opponent's pieces, avoiding the removal of pieces in mills if at all possible.

Any player reduced to two pieces is unable to remove any more opposing pieces and thus loses the game.

I remember seeing that game in some big book of boardgames printed on hardstock, allowing you to just open the book to whatever game you want to play and lay it flat, with the rules on the opposite page. Anyone else remember that book, or know what its title is?
