Did you know our summer reading program is now open to adults as well as children? Here's a recommendation for our adult patrons: Across the Board: How Games Make us Human (DB134566).
"Tabletop game aficionado Tim Clare takes us through history and across civilizations. We learn how the same games emerge over and over and how they've evolved and spread, as well as about the contemporary culture of gaming: with rousing enthusiasm, Tim explores games as familiar to us as Monopoly or chess, as niche as Magic: The Gathering and as unexpected as the Japanese poetry-matching card game karuta. We learn about games as recreation and as ritual, and above all, we see how they can be a way for us to come together—because of all the things that make us human, there’s nothing quite so set up for connection as sharing a round of cards or the roll of a d20."
