Last year, Irving Finkel published a collection of articles from the 1990 colloquium on board games at the British Museum. That’s a long time to wait between a colloquium and its collection.
The collection is chock full of great authors on the subject of games: Finkel, Edgar Pusch, R.C. Bell, and many others. Topics include everything from ancient to near-modern, many types of ancient game from every part of the world, and articles that cover both the games and their origins.
The Bryn Mawr Classical Review gives it a good once-over for us.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Is this the same guy who said that there have been no advances in board games since Monopoly? If that’s the case, what does a delay from 1990 to 2008 matter?
