Games

Games have been played in human societies before civilizations began; they are certainly popular in Edyleine.
== Chess ==
The two-player strategy board game (Chess is played much as it in modern day Earth--"Queen's Chess", except that castling is not an accepted move.) Chess pieces are often made of wood, although more expensive sets may be made of ivory.
It is primarily played by the well-to-do and educated.
== Didvit ==
Main article Didvit
Didvit was a game allegedly of Kastebani origin, but played in numerous forms worldwide. In general was a game played by moving a magically responsive ball across a playing field.
== Draughts ==
Draughts (often called "checkers" in some modern day Earth societies), is a very popular strategy board game for two players. It is played by people in various social classes, although the composition of the pieces varies greatly by wealth level.
As it is played by various social classes and ages, it is perhaps the closest to being a "universal" game.
== Knucklebones ==
Knucklebones (similar to modern Earth Jacks) are typically the astragalus, a bone in the ankle, or hock of sheep. The game is usually played by tossing up and catching the bones on the back of the hand.
In the Empire of Trynser, the game is most popular with children and women. However, in some parts of Edyleine, a variation using knucklebones made out of more valuable material is popular with wealthy merchants and noblemen.
== Marbles ==
Games using marbles, typically made of clay, are most often played in the Empire of Trynser by children.
== Nine Men's Morris ==
This is a popular strategy board game for two players.
