Board games have been played throughout the world for thousands of years. Many times, in many different cultures, people have amused themselves by devising mock races, battles and hunts, played in miniature on a small surface. The rules and the level of sophistication have changed through the ages, but the general idea has remained the same. Some of the oldest games, like backgammon, chess and draughts, are still popular today. This book looks at twelve different games taken from various periods of history. Most will not be recognised by the general public, but deserve to be better known. They are pachisi, halma, agon, tab, fanorona, nine men's morris, wari, konane, xiang qi, tablut, asalto and renju. Each game has a whole chapter to itself, which includes a history, the rules, and a section on strategy and tactics. It is the author's intention that the reader will gain appreciation and enthusiasm for these wonderful old games, and be entertained by them for years to come.

"De Bellis Renationis" is a set of wargames rules for Renaissance battles covering the period from 1494 AD to 1700 AD. DBR version 2.0 offers a combination of realism and excitement for this warfare using miniature figures in any scale from 2mm to 30mm. The creation of the experienced wargame designers Phil Barker and Richard Bodley Scott, DBR can be used to refight historical engagements or your own scenarios from small scale skirmishes to the largest battles of the period. With its command system using "player initiative points", DBR emphasizes the player's generalship rather than their ability to manipulate a set of rules. It allows players to fight actions from the whole period and across the whole world, from Japan to Europe and the Americas and from the Italian Wars to the Nine Years' War. This edition combines the 2002 edition of the rules with all three of the books of Army Lists and includes everything the wargemer needs to refight these battles in one single convenient volume.
