When we sit down at a game board, we rarely think about how much time has passed since two people first drew lines in the sand and placed pebbles there. And yet, that happened a long time ago...
This special issue is dedicated to the history of board games. We'll tell you about their history over the millennia, until they took their modern form—and, of course, we'll try playing them!
"Ancient Board Games" is the first publication of its kind in Russian!
In this issue:
- Games of all civilizations: Ancient Sumer and Ancient Egypt, China during the Warring States period and Rome during the Classical Age, Viking Scandinavia and forgotten African kingdoms—people have always and everywhere played board games;
- Games of All Ages: you'll travel from ancient times through Classical Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance to the very beginning of the era of mass publishing;
- Reconstructions of Forgotten Rules: you'll be able to play games that haven't been played for several thousand years.
Author's Perspective: The entire book was prepared by journalist and editor Lin Lobarev, who has been studying the early history of board games for the past 15 years.
