Another excellent source for period games (I discovered this as
Chronicler for Lindenwood) is Baron Modar Neznanich's (8th Baron of
Forgotten Sea, Calontir) website
(http://www2.kumc.edu/itc/staff/rknight/Games.htm).  The rules for many
of the games that could be made are also available here.  Just another
resource :) :).

What I have in mind is a bag of period games for each kingdom. I have
already started looking for fabric for the bags. I would like 2-4 games
with directions and all game pieces for each kingdom. I was thinking of
Nine Man Morris, Shut the Box and Tablero. (Two games if they are as
complicted to make as Tablero, Three games if the games are as easyto
make as Shut the Box, Four games if we completely lose our minds) I have
a book of Period games that others could be pulled from, but these I
have tried out and I know that the directions make sense. I will be
responsible for getting copies of directions for each group of games
printed and laminated. Also, my favorite court game Ship, Captain, Mate
& crew only requires dice, directions and a bag. The games can be made
of any material. The boards need to be no larger than 10 x 10 inches so
they will fit in the bag. They would only need individual bags to hold
the pieces and directions. If there was a way to attach the bag for pie!
 ces to
 the board, that would be wonderful. Their majesties want the items from
each barony by February.

Email me directly so that I can send diagrams of the board you are
interested in creating. Make sure you sign or put a makers mark on your
work. We want their majesties to know who did what. It is a lot easier
to do award recommendations that way. : ) 

If you want to try something you have only heard of, let me know. I may
have it in my game book; if not, it has a good bibliography that may
help us out.
