[Bryn-gwlad] games

[Brett Chandler-Finch]

One other thing we might want to consider is
usability. we dont want the set so ornate 1no one will
use it. I bought a ornate chess set for my brother a
number of years back. I recently saw it sitting on a
shelf. when I asked him if he ever used it, his reply
was NO I might damage it.
