Just to record another thing decided last night … there are 3 main games played as relaxation and occasionally gambling:
Dice games – popular amongst the ill-educated and gamblers, there are many different types of game and different types of dice
Galleys – a game much like draughts were players try to encircle their opponents pieces (shaped like galleys). Popular for relaxation more than gambling, played by all ages
Stones – very much like Go, a highly strategic and tactical game popular amongst the edcuated and military types. Rarely gambled upon, but much prestige can be gained and/or lost on a game of Stones …
