Welcome to the Games Board. We are a group of game
Historians. Our particular area of interest is British manufactured
games published around the Victorian and Edwardian eras (1750-1910)
although some members' expertise extends to other areas such as
gaming counters, pub games and the history of game publishers
and manufacturers like Jaques and F.H.Ayres.
Launched in 2007, our website is growing and incorporates
GARD, a database of historically interesting information and pictures.
Included are copyright, design and patent registrations, hundreds
of examples of antique games, game collections and books relating
to games.
We will also provide some information about Museums
and other significant Collections of games and intend to also
publish adhoc articles on the History of Games.
