nunca habia pensado en juegos modernos inspirados en los 3 mosqueteros pero definitivamente ese juego abstracto se lleva el interes, voy a probarlo

Interesting win conditions. But the musketeers look like they have the advantage.

These videos are really high quality. Really appreciate how well edited these reviews are. Thank you for the historical information.

My dad made me this game for Christmas!! Thank you for the great instructions!! We are so excited to play! Merry Christmas :)

It's a simple and nice strategy game for two people. Great! 😄

Cool vid!

The game sounds great.

ahora necesito unas lecciones sobre como buscar patentes en especial en otros países porque seguramente hay otros juegos que falta encontrar. Excelente video y definitivo que probare el juego esta navidad

I'm always looking for suggestions. You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work!

When you showed the board, it reminded me of Chinese Checkers only a smaller version of it!

There’s a great board game cafe in Branson!

New peg game video!

Cool. Sid Saxon, I believe, found the game "Blues & Greys" while searching through old patents. It hadn't been published till he found it. I wonder how many games have been patented, but left unpublished. Merry Christmas! Jesus loves you!

Just wanted to say that i love your work and videos.

Dear David, my father (born 1937 in Normandy) always had a game like that at home (the book shelf type giver to the troops): he was given it by an American soldier in the summer of 1944 after the d-day landings in my home area. I had always looked for information about it, wrote to specialized websites,veterans associations, but to no avail. Then last spring after years searching the web I came across your fascinating video. I showed it to my secondary school students on June 6th and let them play with the game. Very moving. My late father would have appreciated. Thanks for everything ! The web can be a very good thing indeed ! Denis

This game is huge in Finland. All American homes have Monopoly. All Finnish homes have Monopoly and Afrikan tähti. And they both suck!

Great research, the passion for games 🥰

Namaste sir 🙏 super glad to found this video, may I hv your email id or contact number?

That is Mohele. Not Morabaraba.

David, Here's a idea to kick around: You could post board game trivia and fun facts on the community section of the NewVentureGames UA-cam Channel.

Thank you for this. I've recently become interested in ancient games (pre-1600) and it seems many of our resources overlap. I'll be checking out some of the other books you recommended.

13 Stockings? That's a lot of oranges 🙂

This game is available on Boardgame geek. There is a long list of traders that have the game on the trade market. Also…. In 2022, the company Mindware released this game as Klondice. The game has golden dice and a dice tower that looks like a mountain. The tier is made on cardboard and must be put together each time the game is played. The theme is that the players are trying to strike it rich by collecting the most gold.

i picked up a copy of sharpshooters at a thrift store for a couple of bucks a while ago without knowing anything about it. when i opened it when i got home my brother in law and i were baffled and astounded by the sheer amount of dice. truly bonkers. i dont have a lot of time on it but i absolutely love how it plays. thanks for covering it :)

I was going to cover this, now I don’t have to!

I love dice games, but missed this game when it was first published. Sounds like a very good one indeed!

Wow! That is an impressive collection of games! Have you played all of them?

😁👍

Let's be reminded this is based on pure assumption. I think we should be close to the truth if we factor in the philosophy of Egypt. First is Egypt a competitive society. Is the game intented to defeat/conquer or share. Have you noticed the pieces are not the same for both players? And pharaoh has the superior piece which of course may have some advantages. In my opinion it looks like a game that give the Pharaoh the power to civilize neighboring people in the hope of making the world a better place. To conclude look at the seal of Egypt offering life or life, and juxtapose that to the American seal, peace or war.

Please do manufacture a nice version of this game! ❤

We need a Bahama Taxi world championship

Thank you! I didn't know Togyz Komalak before 👍

Yurts are those portable circular tents.

When I first heard of Mancala, I was told it was a Nigerian game. So I asked my Nigerian friend if he played it as a kid. "Yes" he replied, "the game teaches you how to cheat"

😁👍

I'm about your age and I definitely remember the "Flying Fickle Finger Of Fate." 😄

It sounds like a pretty cool game. At a glance, the name looked pretty Finnish to my (not-Finnish) eyes.

Wonderful game! Congratulations!

Interesting mechanism.

A very interesting game. Just one question, at 4:07 should the third row (beginning from the top) be blocked since all places are free? Regards from Switzerland

😁👍

Very informative! Thank you!

The nostalgia of the old games and memories of playing them with family was irreplaceable. People can play the modern alternative games but I'm old school with card and board games.

Are these games still available and if so, where can I purchase them on line?

Maybe the Library of Alexandria probably had those documents on those ancient board games on how it was played but was burned down. Just a theory.

I notice the peg's heads are big that may not fit 2 pegs if they are placed at its closest distance between 2 holes next to each other. I think historians had not made any ideas for this scenario. Do you think there's a rule if 2 pegs are at its closest when the original players used it in the past?

Play long and roll them. ^_^
