British Museum : Ancient Board Games

There was allot of the Museum to do with  Ancient Board Games, we had started of the day with a specific tour of the these ancient games, including tafl the viking game, Chaupat, The Royal Game of Ur and many others. some of the games used dedicated wooden games table while some had been carved into the rock of town guard posts. in which guards would play a board game whilst working. It was really fascinating to look at some of these games and how they played, many of the games featured in he museum were the real original setup, while some were on loan to different museums around the world and had be replaced with copy's. The Museum like most days was extremely busy so we took leave and went round in smaller groups looking at the other exhibits. we had met up with another group later that day of whom had brought a tafl board game, we had then proceeded to play for several hours mixing up the game play mechanics, with for example the addition of extra players. Overall the day was interesting but very tiring.. but would definitely go again.
