About the Game
From the back cover
A fascinating collection of over 130 of the world's most entertaining board and table games, both ancient and modern. Twenty games are beautifully reproduced in their original form complete with instructions, tactics and rules for all the family to play actually on the pages of the book.
Games of position and race, war games and word games, chess and dominoes, mancala and fortune-telling games -- all are included in this superb compendium. Wei-Chi from China, Seega from Egypt, Burmese Chess, Conglak from Indonesia, Hnefatafl from Scandinavia are among the less familiar but games of Ludo, Bagatelle and Blackjack are here too.
More than the games themselves, a wealth of historical information and the opportunity to discover an extraordinary variety of age-old games make this book invaluable to the serious collector of games as well as the games enthusiast.
