Playing has fascinated people for thousands of years and still does today - perhaps even more than ever. Because playing brings joy, is exciting, fosters social gatherings, and is a way to exercise the brain. If you also make the games yourself from the wonderfully diverse material of wood, the enjoyment remains even after a lost game. Among the many different types of games, game designer and educator Frank Egholm has selected those that are particularly suitable for sociable family gatherings. These are games - both well-known and newly invented - that you can make from wood with the help of easy-to-understand instructions, which adds even greater value to the subsequent play. And who knows - perhaps there is not only a player in each of us, but even more.
