How did the ancient Egyptians play Senet?
Did you know that hopscotch was already played by the Romans?
Have any old game rules been found?
What were the toys of children in the Middle Ages?
Let yourself be guided in the discovery of the favorite games of the ancients and their history… The author also suggests that you play them with family or friends thanks to the game rules, some of which are even new, and the boards specially designed to be reproduced.
Based on scientific studies and recent archaeological discoveries, the history of board games and toys is richly illustrated by ancient representations, as well as by game boxes, pawns, dice, dolls, spinning tops, etc. preserved in European and Belgian museums.
The study is enriched by a detailed presentation of the painting by Breughel the Elder, Children's Games, and an extensive bibliography.
