The Middle Ages had a wide range of board games, which had a much greater importance in the life of an individual than today. They were enjoyed by all social classes and all age groups. Some have survived as classic games to this day, while others have been reconstructed by researchers based on written sources, depictions and finds of gaming equipment. The Society of Medieval Enthusiasts, the Golden Spurs Society, will present a selection of the most characteristic board board games of the Middle Ages. Reconstructions of chess, checkers, mill, backgammon, Hnefatafl, fox and goose, knucklebones and some other games are available... You are invited!
