Description

The mill game. Played for thousands of years in Egypt, Greece, Rome, Asia, Europe...
Due to its diagonals, the Armenian mill offers considerably more possibilities to form mills. This shortens the duration of the game.
In Europe, the mill game has been known since the Bronze Age (grave goods in Cr Bri Chualann in Wicklow/Ireland). In Germany, different variations of the mill, such as the nine-mill, the wheel or round mill, as well as the three-mill were discovered during excavations of Roman border fortifications. The game has also been known in China for around 2000 years. This tactical game is probably one of the oldest board games of all.
From the 12th to the 18th century, the mill game was one of the most popular board games in Europe. It was not until the beginning of the 19th century that the mill was gradually replaced by chess.
There are numerous variants of the game, such as the Armenian mill game, in which the rules of the game are the same as for the well-known mill. However, the game board has additional diagonal lines, which provide more opportunities to form mills.

Our board games are burnt onto leather, making them durable. And the game almost packs itself for transport. The only thing you have to do is press the game down slightly with one finger in the centre of the playing field, pull the string and the game has already packed itself. It should stay that way for transport. All you have to do now is push the bead up to the bag that has just formed and the game is packed ready for travelling. The games can be used in this way on hikes, on bike tours, in the car or even on long flights. The games are packed so small that the pocket of a jacket is sufficient to take this pleasant form of entertainment with you.

Backgammon

Much is still unknown about the origin, age and spread of this game. There are some oriental games that are thousands of years old and parallels to backgammon are often sought, but whether this proves a relationship is questionable. Probably the first close relative of modern backgammon is the Roman Ludus duodecim scriptorum. It was widespread throughout the Roman Empire and was first mentioned by Ovid in the 8th century BC. However, the first discovery is dated to around 125 AD. The game was then further developed by the Romans into alea or tabula, which could have been played as early as the 1st century AD. From the 11th century onwards, the game spread throughout Europe and became known in Germany in the 12th century under the name Wurfzabel or Puff. The name Puff is derived from the word Pasch. The vulgar term for the brothel goes back to the name of the game that used to be played in these houses - so you went ‘to the brothel’.

byzantine chess, round chess, circular chess...

As the name suggests, this round chess variant originates from Byzantium (the Byzantine Empire, also known as Eastern Rome). It was probably developed there in the 10th century. The board has the same number of squares as the regular square chess board, but these are arranged on circular paths. Not only does this have serious changes on the starting position and the moves, but also the chess rules valid at that time, which differ from today's rules in some respects.

Fishhead

The game Fischkopf can be played alone, in pairs or with as many people as you like.
This entertaining dice game was probably derived from a dice game called ‘shut the box’ or ‘flap game’. The origins of the flap game probably lie in the 19th century.

Barbacan

The name Barbacan comes from the old Spanish, which means fortress or fort. It is clear from the game that it is a siege game. According to ancient sources, it originates from the Moors. The playing field is not just an ornament, but also a carefully thought-out fortress system. The special feature of the game is that - unlike other siege games - there are no defenders. Each of the players is an attacker and endeavours to penetrate the fortress and prevent the opposing attackers from doing so at the same time. Observation, tactics and fighting skills are key in this game, which is not only characterised by its unusual visuals. A lot of strategy is also required here, as the aim is to conquer a fortress and place your own pieces so skilfully that you block your opponent(s). The number of pieces used varies depending on the number of players. The game material includes: 12 + 12 + 8 + 6 + 5 + 4 pieces.

You will receive a playing field in the colour of your choice and the corresponding game pieces in the desired colours. In addition, we will add two game pieces per colour as replacements. If several tiles have been lost, please let us know and we will send you the desired tiles. These are free of charge, you only have to pay the postage and shipping costs.

Kono

Kono is a Korean game for two players in which, just like Halma, the players must try to move their own pieces to the opposite side of the board. The aim here is not to capture your opponent's pieces, but simply to move them in such a way that you reach your goal faster and block your opponent's moves as much as possible. The instructions for the board game "Seega" are included with this game. So you have two in one.

You receive a playing field in the colour of your choice and the corresponding game pieces in the desired colours. In addition, we add one game piece per colour as a replacement. If you have lost several tiles, please let us know and we will send you the desired tiles. These are free of charge, you only have to pay the postage and shipping costs.
