Discover the compelling stories behind the creation of the board games we know and love to play--stories that have touched every aspect of people's lives through the ages. Our journey starts 5,000 years ago and continues right up to the present day. On the way, each game will reveal the fascinating secrets of its origin and its lasting appeal."--From publisher's description.
