About the Game

"The Oxford History of Board Games investigates the principles of board games throughout the ages and across the world, exploring the fascinating similarities and differences that give each its unique appeal, and drawing out the significance of game-playing as a central part of human experience - as vital to a culture as its music, dance, and tales."

"Beautifully illustrated, and with diagrams to show the finer points of the games, this is a fascinating and accessible guide to a richly rewarding subject"
