Let's play some board games!
Board games aren't just for fun. They are a fantastic teaching tool that
can help us to develope important life skills. Usually played on a table
or other flat surface. Most feature a competition between two or more
players. In checkers, a player wins by capturing all opposing pieces,
while Eurogames often end with a calculation of final scores. There are
also cooperative games where players all win or lose as a team, and peg
solitaire is a puzzle for one person.

What is the oldest board game?
Humans play board games from the ancient times. The Royal Game of Ur is
the oldest playable boardgame in the world, originating around
4,600 years ago in ancient Mesopotamia. The game’s
rules were written on a cuneiform tablet by a Babylonian astronomer in
177 BC. From this, curator Irving Finkel was able to decipher the rules
– two players compete to race their pieces from one end of the board to
the other. The central squares were also used for fortune telling.
