Interesting read, thanks Marc.

Fun read, Chess and Checkers is what I think of board games and the trenches. Thanks for the article.

“Mensch ärgere Dich nicht” is still THE game to play in Germany when family comes together on sunday afternoons.

My oma wins almost every time  :lol:

Keep her away from Axis & Allies – she might turn out to have natural talents at playing that game too, and just imagine how you’d feel at having your grandmother slaughter you in a Global 1940 duel.
