Watch Medieval Era Games

There is not a single being on this earth that has not played with some game at various stages of his/her life (from infancy right up to old age). There are very simple games and complicated games which train the body, the emotions, the brain or the intellect. These small documentaries (eventually they will become longer) analytically present the whole structure of games and common archetypal elements that games contain in every population all over the world, which originated from the ancient Greek and European culture. This is a multi part documentary with each segment representing the basic groups of games found in European countries at medieval times that continue to exist to this day in different forms and names. a) Alphabetic games which refer to each writing system in each region of Europe at various times. b) Cosmic Dice: an analysis of dice games from the ancient Greeks up to the present that refer to the creation of the world. c) Zatrikion (chess) with many different variants, from all of Europe and from various eras. d) Various other games, specifically board games and their many variations. e) Children's games in the neighbourhoods and in the schools at various time periods, certain of which developed into martial arts.
