Description

Games of History by Routledge provides a deep look into how games serve as valuable tools for studying the past. This book explores games as physical artifacts, visual sources, and textual records to help historians understand human behavior through play. While the primary focus remains on board and card games, the text also references physical games, sports, and digital gaming to provide a broad perspective. By examining games through the lenses of culture, society, politics, and metaphysics, the author demonstrates how gaming activities reflect the world around them. Using examples from ancient times to the present day and from various global locations, this guide shows how games offer an alternative way to access historical data. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in using gaming as a serious method for historical research and analysis.
