To cameraman: when you're invited to film lectures, you're basically asked to document the event with everything involved, and in this case not filming the slides destroyed %80 of the purpose and has made it just a memorable video instead of an educational and memorable one.

I suppose what I am trying to say is I am not saying someone from the nation we now refer to as India didn't have something to do with making board games!! but I find it fundamentally politically charged to tell people that live 1000s of miles away from Mesopotamia- and Ur and give them sole ownership and heirs to the throne of board games - it's just another example of how badly the west wants to delete and omit the identity of the people of the middle East and claim it either as their own or members of their common wealth!!

I was born in Bangladesh and when my family came to Australia my parents brought with them a commercial parchesi board. I grew up with this and had no idea Ludo was a bastardised relative. We also played Mah Jjong ad infinitem, and I got into Go as a teenager. My kids aren't as interested in board games as I was, but they do enjoy Mah Jjong. The board games they do like are cooperative ones, like Arkham Horror, etc. where all the players have to work together.

Very interesting point: It seems that board games started from Neolithic stone age tool makers and Egyptian quarry workers and masons, games with playing pieces began with what to do with all those lovely chunks of marble & bits of jet, not to mention ivory, bones and teeth. Fascinating.

I wonder if games of chance may have been used for divination as well as fun and that is part of the reason you can find the boards around temples. Even today people are superstitious about randomness, blowing on dice and asking for divine intervention etc. If the skill levels of two players cancel each other out, winning a game of chance would be a sign that it is an auspicious day and you are in the gods' favour. Being lucky in a game means you are lucky in general and your prayers/offerings might be more successful as well as what you are praying/offering for.

@jowilson5581

Жыл бұрын

Absolutely yes. For a great modern example, you can go looking for people who practice "esoteric mahjong", for instance. And when it comes to Go, it was very popular in Buddhist monasteries because the board was said to be a reflection of the universe itself. Monks would play the game in an unusual fashion, trying not to fight with each other or capture pieces, looking for enlightenment through their play. Though a part of me suspects that's just an excuse, something they'd tell the head monk so they could get away with having something fun.

@@jowilson5581 Thanks for the really interesting reply. I really like what you said about the Go and the monks. I've played it a bit myself and it can seem to play itself if you're not being overly competitive. Almost like how a good conversation seems to twist and turn itself in the most unexpected and unfathomable directions. It's easy to imagine the hand of something greater at work. Go has the additional benefit of being able to visually retrace the steps leading to the finished board, which itself can be quite mesmerisingly beautiful. What you said about the monks making spiritual excuses for their fun made me chuckle. I bet that is a factor in a lot of religious practice and might even colour theology too. Perhaps thinking fun and the holy are mutually exclusive is a particularly Christian idea, though I suppose a degree of po-facedness is a universal requirement of religion. As it happens, my dad wrote a book on this very topic called Buddhism in Life. Though I am ashamed to say I never read it, I do remember him telling me the village monk where he did fieldwork in Sri Lanka would take long afternoon naps while purportedly meditating. Something he freely admitted to my dad, if not the villagers. Never heard esoteric Mahjong. Sounds intriguing. Is it a bit like tarot cards?

I wish i could have Irving Finkels mind for a day!

Love this man. People like this should be teachers exclusively. I agree that digitising board games can be horrible. Especially if you're supposed to play against AI.

57:25 I think chess, in comparison to Go, is more portable (fewer pieces, smaller board) and simpler in concept (a battle instead of a war, simpler in concept, not a critique of game mechanic complexity) which leads to it being easier to travel and spread, and the victory condition is far easier to understand. Also, having the more animated, character-like pieces of chess leads to an easier story of mind, whereas Go is so simple in its pieces, it is more abstract and doesn't lend itself as easy to story. I see these as the key reasons for its larger popularity over Go, although I also see this as somewhat unfortunate. I think Go has much deeper life lessons.

Fascinating! Enjoyed every moment.

In the Oazark Mountains in Nortewest Arkansas and southwest Missouri the people made their own version of parcheesi out of wood and marbles and renamed it Yahoo. You cried Yahoo when you finally got you pieces to move into the center. If you forgot and someone called you on it you could be made to return to your last square. You rolled 2 dice and if you rolled double 6's you could roll again and add the numbers. From the base houses you had to roll a 5 to enter the board. If you overtook another player and landed on their square you would send them back to their home square. The first to get all four pieces in the center wins.

I don't think that electronic versions of board games are so bad. I play them when I can't get players for physical board games.

He's said that they're not really proper games - the essence of gaming is, for him, the competitive gaming of one on one - any other form (including groups against groups or multi player like 3 or 4 players) is basically a weak corruption of that purity.

Great lecture, who would have thought - ‘plastic’ what could go wrong !

There is an idea that has grown amongst humanity that what we do on a small scale and in limited time can influence our lives on a larger scale. Hence rituals and games are played to somehow mimic those events that are beyond our apparent influence in the hope that by recreating them we can extend our influence, or perhaps just learn how to play well, to find out what works on a small scale before entering the greater field.

I completely agree with his end remarks. when I look up board games I want to find these kind of games that have stood the test of time are so simple you can learn how to play within a few hours but it takes a lifetime to master it. they don't have complicated designs but there abstract design allows the player to fill in the blanks of what happens & the rules aren't written down but spoken so when convenient are changed & they live & breath with the cultures that make & share them not with the cold company that milks them for all the money they are worth with a hundred redesigns of the game Monopoly for example. It's kinda like Uno the company may say the rules but nobody cares you can stack +2 & +4 cards & you can have rules like 0 makes the hands of everyone swap in direction of play. 7s allow you to switch hands with someone else or even the deck as I once played it as in the end a card game is owned by the players not the company & so they change it as they want. Also a great example of this is Jack Change it which on the Wikipedia page has a load of its variations on it as somebody put in the time to ask people around Northern Ireland the rules & jot them down to end up with the wide range of variations showing a card game that is alive in the culture.

Our concrete buildings won't out weather for more than 200 years, entropy you see. Steel will rust out to ground. Isn't it a fact that cuneiform tablets from Sumeria, lasted because they were made of clay or chiselled into rock in some cases. Technology of Modern society is terrible when it comes to entropy..

Board games were fun, most of us grew up on them and had great moments with them. But.. nowadays a strategy game on computer is something so complex, entertaining, visually impressive, that the board games, even chess, look like some kid game from stone age, and they cant compare in any way. Ofc many people who love chess (i do also) will be angry and say it has millions of combinations, but even simple strategy will have more kinds of units/pieces with more abilities in movement and behavior, many more types of settings/boards, and far more complex rules, making chess seem restrictive and limited, even autistic in a way. Only way I can imagine ever playing a board game nowadays is if there would be some earthquake and no electricity... its better then nothing then.

@1:00:31 I think the cultural benefit of wordplay games like Scrabble and crosswords is probably quite vague and scattered. These competition games... race games, war games, etc. teach strategy, but in my opinion, (I am making leaps and guesses.) they also build up the idea of compromise. The idea that one can strategize in all sorts of ways, even losing ground but potentially going on to win, seems crucial to compromise... and compromise could mean the difference between your family or tribe metaphorically breaking its own leg and going on to die, that winter, or surviving and eventually healing over the old hurt feelings. By the time things are better again, you may not remember that you were planning to screw the "opponent" over as soon as you got a good chance, but things are better... you benefited because you were at least able to think ahead in some manner or another. If there are examples of early wordplay games, I'd love to find out more! If you broaden it out to toungey toys, in general, there's certainly a broad and great history of creativity and poetry, but I've never heard of any actual games, and even today, the "genre" seems splintered and shriveled and dry and largely vacant of the real childlike imagination and bewilderment at physics which echo through real wordplay. I don't mind a crossword and other similar games, and I don't even mind losing at Scrabble literally every time. I just haven't seen anyone crack the gamification of real wordplay. (as I see it)

Nobody said anything exalting the varied Indian peoples for a blissful, perfect, serene, war-less existence. Of course they had wars and did shitty things. Everybody did. Here, let me switch to the other, "Indians" the people who lived in the Americas before white people came. I know that story a bit better, as an American. Basically, some tribes lived more-or-less peacefully, but others were more war-like. Things and situations would change, but overall, there were likely countless minor battles and wars throughout that relatively unknown history, especially where space or resources were limited. Then Europeans settled and settled and bred and bred, and you had a full-blown genocide over a long period of time. This, too, varied. So, yes, life before colonization was not perfect and magical like a few random delusional hippies might claim. That does not change the fact that the US government and private interests committed wide-spread, drawn-out genocide against the "native" peoples who lived here. And the full summary is: Everyone fights. Everyone does shitty things. This does not excuse shitty things done on a massive scale, and wouldn't even excuse them on a small scale. Quit throwing a hissy fit when specific hideous acts done by Europeans of history are mentioned. It's really not that hard to be glad or even proud of good and important things done, while also acknowledging that inexcusable things were also done, sometimes by the same people, sometimes by close or broad associates. If your pride is that fragile, maybe you're trying to be proud of the wrong things. Maybe it's time to have an uncomfortable look at yourself. If you're willing to be honest with yourself and accept that things may have to change, you can get better. I guarantee you, your life will be happier and more full of meaning and worth, if you do. And maybe I'm wrong about why you snapped like a precious, little twig. Absolutely possible. The point about changing still stands. For whatever reason, you snapped. That's not healthy. It will only make your life worse. I've got a few areas like that, which I have to work on. In reality, these things are complicated, and can't really be reduced so simply, but I'm looking forward to improving mine, because I've seen how the benefits are exponential, in relation to the effort.
