Book excerpt: The printed board game reached new heights of beauty and ingenuity during the nineteenth century, covering almost every conceivable theme, from geography or history to contemporary crazes. Some relied on dice or a numbered spinning top called a teetotum, others were meant for gambling, and still more were "mind games" requiring serious thought. They all appear in this lavish book, which displays elaborately designed boards and traces their development through time.
