Why do we call it an afterlife when it's an afterdeath?

It's all a matter of perspective.

FReegards!

Yeah, looks like a 19 x 19 grid just like a Go board.

I used to have a game from China called *war*...I could never figure it out. It looks a bit like that.:(

A bed from yew wood decorated with silver sheets and a desk belong among the most significant discoveries in the tomb.

Silver sheets would be chilly. Wasn't the word, "silken", intended?

The sheets were coverings on wood parts.

The Romans played a game roughly similar to “Risk”. :^)

Ludology is a fascinating and much under-studied field.

For several summers I worked for a toy company; retail sold huge variety of board games; they made the wooden boards/boxes for many of the games they sold, under the license holders names. *Quarto* *Stick Around* *Abalone* *mancala* *classic dominoes* *checker/chess boards* and many, many others.

It was a happy place to work. Good times. Unfortunately, I had to know how to play a game to demo it to customers. Brain hurt. :)

That’s the only way I’d accept these coins.

Free or pay me to take them.

Another government idea that great in concept but lousy in the real world.
