| BOARD GAMES | ||
• A board game is any game played with a premarked surface, with counters or pieces that are moved across the board. Simple board games are often seen as ideal "family entertainment" as they can provide entertainment for all ages. Some board games, such as chess or Go , have intense strategic value and have become lasting classics. • There are many different types and classifications of board games. Some games are simplified simulations of real life. These are popular for they can intermingle make-believe and role playing along with the game. Popular games of this type include Monopoly , which is a rough simulation of the real estate market, Cluedo , which is based upon a murder mystery, and Risk which is one of the most well known of thousands of games attempting to simulate warfare and geo-politics. • Other games only loosely, or do not at all, attempt to imitate reality. These include abstract strategy games like chess, checkers , Chinese checkers , word games , such as Scrabble , and trivia games, such as Trivial Pursuit . |

| UNIQUE SPECIMENS | ||
|
• All presented specimens are unique for two reasons: they are hand painted and non reproduced (except in particular conditions). Each one requires a lot of work hours, between 3 and 5 days, with the obligation to be a board game (smooth and uniform surface, varnish to protect,...) • Important remark : These board games are unique and you can't find them anywhere else. So, once they are purchased, they are automatically removed from the shop and thus from sale. So, the object of your desires can disappear any time!
