Discover Traditional Board GamesMany of the following classic board games have been around for centuries. They have withstood the test of time and still retain their popularity to this day. Chess Chess is a strategy game played with 32 pieces on a board of 64 squares. Players attempt to trap the opponent's king through checkmate by moving and capturing pieces while at the same time defending their own pieces. Commonly referred to as a sport, chess is one of the most popular two player strategy games in the world. Chess sets come in a large number of varieties. You can find chess sets made out of glass or hand carved from materials like wood or stone. Some have themes, such as Medieval, or Star Wars, while others function as decorative pieces. A soft vinyl board is often the preferred choice of competitive players. You may want to consider buying a chess clock once you have mastered the basics of the game. A chess clock, or timer, increases the tension and makes the game more exciting as it limits the amount of time a player has to make a move. A player loses if he doesn’t make a move before the timer expires. BackgammonThe two player game of backgammon is played with two dice and a board with 30 pieces. Each player takes turns rolling the dice and tries to move his pieces around the board to the opposite side, without getting trapped in the centre. GoGo is another two player strategy game where players try to capture their opponent's pieces by surrounding them.
