Games are an integral part of all societies. Like work and relationships, they are an expression of some basic part of the human nature. Games are formalized expressions of play which allow people to go beyond immediate imagination and direct physical activity.
Games capture the ideas and behaviors of people at one period of time and carry that through time to their descendants. Some games illustrate the thinking of the military leaders who employed them centuries ago.
When archaeologists excavate an ancient society they find artefacts related to living, working, family and social activities, games often become an archival record of how individuals and groups played in earlier times.
This Cassell work is a companion volume to
Cassell's Book of Sports and
Pastimes. As the latter — with the exception of the
special sections on
" Recreative Science," " The
Workshop," and " Home Pets " — is largely
occupied with games and sports which are usually carried on out-of-doors,
it will be seen that the present book, which is almost exclusively devoted
to indoor games of various kinds, forms a very fitting
supplement to the other.
