Man has always devised ways to occupy his time when he was not involved in the workof survival. Games have been used for centuries for this purpose. This book explores onegroup of games that have been played for thousands of years by people in all parts of theworld.This group of games is played on a specifically arranged surface with pieces or menwhose powers of move and capture are defined by rules. Such games are called ‘“‘BoardGames.” The surface of play is known as the “board” regardless of what material is used. Inmany parts of the world, the board was marked or lined with a stick on the ground, and anyconvenient objects were used for the playing pieces. The board games of CHESS andCHECKERS are not included here since much printed material may be found elsewhere.Board games which are strictly games of chance are also excluded.
