Board games have been played throughout the world for thousands of years. Many times, in many different cultures, people have amused themselves by devising mock races, battles and hunts, played in miniature on a small surface. The rules and the level of sophistication has changed through the ages, but the general idea has remained the same. Some of the oldest games, like backgammon, chess and draughts, are still popular today. This book looks at twelve different games taken from various periods of history. Most will not be recognised by the general public, but deserve to be better known. They are pachisi, halma, agon, tâb, fanorona, nine men's morris, wari, konane, xiang qi, tablut, asalto and renju. Each game has a whole chapter to itself, which includes a history, the rules, and a section on strategy and tactics. It is the author's intention that the reader will gain appreciation and enthusiasm for these wonderful old games, and be entertained by them for years to come.

"This game takes a minute to play - since you should never spend longer than a minute in a library on fire." Looking for a different kind of challenge? Here's a collection of rules and instructions - for games to play on your own, with friends or enemies, outside or in. Most are designed to be very short, but one or two may last a week, a month, or a lifetime. There are role-playing games, dice games, creative games and battles, extracts from the likes of H. G. Wells and Charles Cotton as well as new work by contemporary writers. But Roll Again is also an experiment in literary form - it includes texts which are more poem than game. It urges readers to dive into the ambiguous space between imagining and enacting, and in so doing rethink the meaning of everyday experiences.

A pack of playing cards usually suggests friends gathered around a card table. But what can you do when you have a deck of cards, a wish to play, and nobody to play with? Author Robert Allen has the answer in this unusual book that presents rules and variations for 100 different fascinating and challenging solitaire card games--but there's still more! You'll also find approximately 400 coin games, matchstick puzzles, logic puzzles, crosswords, and memory games. The solitaire games include Roll-Call, Pyramid, Canfield, Grandfather Clock, and Flower Garden, to name just a few. Some games--both solitaire and non-card games--take only a few minutes to play, while others can go on for much longer. Each game is described with detailed diagrams, easy-to-follow rules, and the game's object clearly defined. Here's a book to help readers make an hour or two of solitude pass rapidly and entertainingly!

Excerpt from A Book of Song Games and Ball Games: Adapted for School Use But play, whether it concern children or adults, must maintain the essential characteristics of play, viz emancipation from the earnestness with regard to the end which is the mark of all true work. If one is work ing, it is for a conscious, practical aim, while real play, like pure art, ought to be its own aim. In Britain quite in contrast to what has been the case on the continent - games have always been highly appreciated; but I am doubtful if in Britain play has always remained play, and if the players themselves have not too often had a certain inclination to put into it a seriousness which has nothing to do with play as play. Where play exclusively for the sake of pleasure is changed into play for the sake of gaining a prize, ideal or material, where there are professionals in football as there are professionals in shoemaking, there is no longer play as it was originally; it has been altered into earnest work, and has become what is called sport. It is with Games, as it is with Educations. They comprehend, and necessarily must comprehend, some thing partly human, and partly national. From the History of Games we learn that the majority of games now used are very old. There are Ball, Stone, and Song Games, where the origin is lost in the night of the tales. I think that the expression a national game has to be understood less as a game which has its origin in the nation in question than as a game which has become a favourite game of that nation, and has been changed to suit its peculiar character. I think Miss Bremner has well understood this. She has understood that what can give pleasure to Swedish children may also give pleasure to English-speaking children, on con dition that it is properly adapted to them. May - I sincerely wish and hope so' - these games give pleasure to many, and at the same time serve as a means of Education. Man, adults as well as children, needs the one as well as the other, and perhaps most both united. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
