    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.
    Just insert the CD into your Windows computer and use the menu to open your book(s), and to download the latest version of
