The Trip to British Museum

The great trip to the British Museum commences!

Inside, we were greeted by the great Irving Finkel himself. Proceeding in the trip, we covered a great deal of ancient board games, hereby the tafl games, and that Royal Game of Ur. There were more ancient stuff in the museum in the different areas, however some of the games were not easily recognized as games due to there being a lot of damages and / or missing pieces. The sensation that was present during the time was very different to when we played the ancient games in the classroom; as these were the real thing, the real wood and stones.

It was very amazing to be able to see the fossil of games, and even more amazing that we had met Irving Finkel! Hah! Irving Finkel!
