This book is a fun and informative guided tour of the world of Medieval Table and Board Games.

It is the result of a long-standing collaboration in the dissemination and recreation of ancient and medieval board games, it reveals a broad panorama, with explanatory diagrams, checkers, boards, from the workshop of "Medieval Games and Dice".

The book includes the rules and history of the games covered; evolution of the pieces, tokens, boards, fixing of the rules; thus, in chess, backgammon, checkers, merelles, and their variants... Games rediscovered today such as those of Nordic Tafl, or even the Tâb of the desert; each of them is taken into account in the cultural context that saw it born, and the stages of its evolution... without forgetting to situate it in relation to its other "playful" competitors.
