While surfing the interwebs for traditional board games, I stumbled across Lemery Games, run by Krisztina and Tamas. They have designed and marketed a number of traditional board games from around the world in a series of continental 'volumes', all funded via Kickstarter.
Volume I is Ludos Ancient Games - Asia.
The four games included are Yut (from Korea), Hasami Shogi (from Japan), Bagh Chal (from Nepal), and Jarmo (from Mongolia).
Volume II is Ludos Ancient Games - Africa.
The games included in this volume are Yoté (from Mali), Oware (from Ghana), Dara (from Nigeria), and Fanorona (from Madagascar).
Volume III is Ludos Ancient Games - America.
Judging from the pictures on their web-site, the individual games as well as the packaged volumes all look gorgeous, and I really like the entire ethos of their approach. I'll be sure to seek out these games for inclusion in my collection of traditional board games, so watch this space!
And there is more! Or, rather, there soon will be .... Volume IV, Ludos Ancient Games - Europe, has been launched on Kickstarter!
