Description

Games of History explores how games function as historical artefacts and sources for understanding past societies, cultures, and ideas. This comprehensive guide examines board games, card games, physical games, sports and digital games across ancient times to the present day, drawing examples from around the world.

By treating games not merely as pastimes but as serious historical evidence, this resource offers historians an alternative analytical lens for research and interpretation. Part of the Routledge Guides to Using Historical Sources series, it provides practical methodology for engaging with gaming materials as primary and secondary sources in historical study.
