    If you wrote a book on the history of games I would buy it.
    Love you videos and history on the game.

      That's what most of this UA-cam Channel is about - ancient, antique, vintage and obscure games that most people never heard of! Thanks for watching and commenting.

    Love these ancient games. To bad we don't know how they originally played them.

    I've seen a break down of Men (know that's not the right name) using concepts from Dr Nim. But the guy who did it just called it his dowel game. You won if you picked up the last dowel.

      It's 'Apex Escape from the Apes' by NewVenture Games. I don't know if it's out of print or just a concept.
