I love this

This was really informative, thabk you very much.

Well done video. Very informative!

The pattern for 5 has remained remarkably consistent.

Good video. Thank you. The 9X9 Tablut game is well balanced. Brandub is better if you reduce the attackers from 16 to 12, as it opens up the board a bit for movement. The Fitchell board is way too crowded as represented. Reduce the attackers by 4 soldiers and it's much better. As there are no official rules -- other than Tablut -- feel free to make up your own rules. Again, thank you.

5:22 I dont understand this move here. Dont you have to move along the lines? 5:35 ?

Hazard reminds me a lot of a game they play in Spain and Portugal called “Banca francesa”

I watch all video on channel, the videos are very beautiful, you are very good, I like ancient, medieval and traditional Board game, I hope you will make more videos on these topics

Nice video

This is lovely

Just saw your channel the other day and while your background music is far more annoying than anything I have ever used, your voice is far better than mine. I added your channel to my description lineup and showed your channel landing page at the end of this video: ua-cam.com/video/T-HB3DzZvAs/v-deo.html I look forward to your next video!

Great Channel. i'm happy to found it😊subscribed imediatelly and looking forward to new videos😊 thanks for posting this amazing video. i have one request, can you make video about Tabula (roman backgammon)? complete tutorial, how to play this game? i love ancient board games, especially dice games. searched on internet complete tutorial about Tabula, but there isn't good and understadable tutorial😐if you can make complete video tutorial about this game, i will be happy🙂waiting your response. have a nice day😉

Very interesting. I'm an amateur video game developer (haven't released anything yet) and was thinking of making digital versions of these kind of extremely old and forgotten games.

My god i was looking for a video like that for a long time! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for this. It seems I've been playing Nine Men's Morris wrong all my life.

Thank you brilliant

I recently discovered this game I have been having a lot of fun with my friends it’s a really good drinking game

Hi John, A friend of mine was a participant (and winner) for several years at the world Merrills (Morris) championships in Hutton-le-Hole Yorkshire. Sadly not happening now since 1997. I've been looking to make contact with the people that participated. In case you ever hear of anyone please let me know. Would be a wonderful historical games feat if we could manage this.

Great channel. Looking forward to more.

Put and Take goes back much farther. Early "teetotums," going back to Ancient Rome, most often come in four- and six-sided versions, though other numbers existed as well. A letter would be stamped or painted on the flat sides, generally the initial of a Latin word indicating what action to take in the game. A common set of letters was the letters D, N, A, and T, for Depone “pay in” (put a coin into the common pot), Nihil “nothing” (nothing happens), Aufer “take” (take a coin from the pot), and Totum (take all the coins in the pot; this is the origin of the name of the game and the top itself), but others are well-documented. Sometimes the A was replaced by another letter that could mean payment (P seems to be common, from pone) and the D was interpreted as dimidium “half,” meaning the player takes half of what is in the pot. Other combinations of letters that could be found included NG, ZS, TA, TG, NH, ND, SL and M, which included the Latin terms Zona Salve ("save all"), Tibi Adfer ("take all"), Nihil Habeas ("nothing left"), Solve L ("save 50") and Nihil Dabis ("nothing happens"). Many teetotum were marked as dice, too, or some with even more sides existed, although those seem most often to have had numerals rather than letters. While teetotums could be found all over Europe during the Middle Ages, they seem to have been especially popular in medieval Germany, where the game was known as “Trendel.” An interesting parallel can be drawn between the medieval German game of Gluckshaüs and the teetotum; I find this connection quite interesting as Gluckshaüs is one of my favorite medieval gambling games. Apparently, cheating at the game was extremely common. The edges of each side of the teetotum would be shaved at an angle which increased the probability of a favorable result when the top is spun in one direction, whereas a spin in the other direction was more likely to produce a roll requiring a player to add to the pot.

How could everyone know the chart for Panquist by heart? Is there some logical way to just tell what the results are for each combination?

Another excellent video, thank you. Checking my copy of The Book of Games, I see I was playing one of them wrong and you have it correct--thanks for that information!

Muito obrigada por compartilhar esse conhecimento maravilhoso!!!!

Another excellent video, thank you. I would like to offer an alternative suggestion for the asymmetrical knights in the Konrad von Ammenhausen chess set: He lived in the early 14th century, and the manuscript you show at 4:45 is from the 15th century. During that time, very few illustrations show knights with a panache (i.e., feathers on a helmet) off to the side. They are far more likely to be on both sides of the helmet, as in this picture from the Manessa Codex dating from the early 14th century: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Codex_Manesse_166v_Walther_von_Metze.jpg or else in the center or center front of the helmet, as in this picture from British Library, Royal MS 20 B dating from the 15th century: medievalbritain.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/jousting-alexander.png Never say never, of course, and it may be possible to find a feather worn on the side at this time, but it was not a common enough practice in the iconography to explain this piece. Is it possible, instead, that the asymmetrical piece is intended either to show the horse's head sticking off to the side (as opposed to the vertical figure of a human), or that it was meant to represent the asymmetrical movement of the knight? I hope in future you will cover chess variations, such as Courier Chess and Alfonso's Four Seasons chess, as I find those games quite fascinating (and I do not believe anyone makes sets for those variations, which might suite your business well), and also, perhaps, the different chess assizes, such as the German assize. I think that the development of the rules of chess and their gradual standardization (a process closely linked to and facilitated by the development from manuscripts to incunabula to modern printing) is at least as interesting as the development of the pieces themselves.

Another great video, thank you. Of all of the variations, I most enjoy Buffa de Baldrac; the three dice make for a fast game, and the requirement to use the highest die first when a player can't use all of the rolls adds an interesting twist. The Doublet-style games are my least favorite. Do you make a copy of the early board you showed in the video with the carved yellow frame? I didn't see it in your shop. Incidentally, I don't know if it's just my computer, but the link to your shop above didn't work for me.

I would be interested in any information you have about the differenes (if any) between "The Game with No Name" and Daldos.

I have been enjoying your videos a great deal. I have been researching and playing ancient and medieval games for many years, and was impressed by the accuracy of your short introductory videos--you get several details correct that others do not. I have had some trouble understanding the mechanics of Noddy as the various sources are quite confusing to me, so if you write up detailed rules for the game I would be quite interested to read them. I would also be interested in a set of early medieval chess pieces copied from the earlier Shatranj-style pieces if you offer them (and if you ship to the USA), as well as a set of Courier chess pieces if you ever make them.

I just discovered this by chance! Ive been looking for a chess board to go with my isle of Lewis reproductions!

very good!
