Howdy all,

OK, looks like the project is going to be games and this idea has been 
claimed by HE Valeria for the barony's contribution to the Gulf Wars Largess 
baskets.

The ideas for this so far include the assumed period games of:

Chess
Checkers
Goose
Nine Man Morris
Ship, Captain, Mate and Crew
Shut the Box
Tablero

HE Valeria has a book on period games so we can choose which ones we want to 
do and wants to include 2-4 games.

The general concensus is to make the boards out of fabric, possibly 
embroidered or painted, with a draw-string that makes the board(s) 
themselves into a bag to carry the respective pieces (dice, chessmen, 
checkers, etc).

There has been a suggestion that the various guilds produce their own 
versions of the games based on what skills they possess. I can see entire 
sections like all the boards, all the dice, all the men, all the 
instructions, etc being done by the various guilds, but not having each 
group do an entire set. We want these to be uniform so that everyone gets 
the same thing.

Now we need to make final decisions on which games to include and then we 
can get started. I  would suggest the following division of labor for the 
projects:

I can see the C&I guild doing the instructions

Clothier's guild doing the boards - painted, embroidered, etc, whichever 
looks the best

We could include a potpourri bag in the sets from the herbal guild

What guild(s) or household(s) are interested in making the game pieces?
