  • 031 – Brief History of Games
    031 – Brief history of games The history of games dates to the ancient human past. Games are an integral part of all cultures and are one of the oldest forms of human social interaction. Games are formalized expressions of play which allow people to go beyond immediate imagination and direct physical activity. Common features of games include uncertainty of outcome, agreed upon rules, competition, separate place and time, elements of fiction, elements of chance, prescribed goals and personal enjoyment. Games capture the ideas and worldviews of their cultures and pass them on to the future generation. Games were important as cultural and social bonding events, as teaching tools and as markers of social status. As pastimes of royalty and the elite, some games became common features of court culture and were also given as gifts. Games such as Senet and the Mesoamerican ball game were often imbued with mythic and ritual religious significance. Games like Gyan chauper and The Mansion of Happiness were used to teach spiritual and ethical lessons while Shatranj and Wéiqí (Go) were seen as a way to develop strategic thinking and mental skill by the political and military elite. — Ancient games Some of the most common pre-historic and ancient gaming tools were made of bone - found worldwide - and are the ancestors of knucklebones as well as dice games. These bones were also sometimes used for oracular and divinatory functions. Other implements could have included shells, stones and sticks. In ancient civilizations there was no clear distinction between the sacred and the profane. ● Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean world A series of 49 small carved painted stones found at the 5,000-year-old Başur Höyük burial mound in southeast Turkey could represent the earliest gaming pieces ever found.

One step (or leap if an opponent got in the way) is taken in any direction at a time, blocking the opposition’s progress where possible.

  • Why Play? Here Is What You Will Find in Your Kit
