Bear games is a category of board games of which many have historical roots in the Roman Empire.
 They were played in parts of the Empire as far away as Turkey and France and are still played today, especially in Italy.
 All of the games are two-player abstract strategy board games.
 Normally, the game is played with three hunters and one bear on a patterned board.
 It bears similarity to the hunt games such as the Fox games, Rimau-rimau, and Bagha-Chall, however, there are no captures involved.
 The three hunters are trying to hem in the bear, and block its movements.
David Parlett (born 1939) is a games scholar, historian, and translator from South London, who has studied both card games and board games. His published works include many popular books on games and the more academic volumes "The Oxford Guide to Card Games" and "The Oxford History of Board Games", both now out of print.
 Parlett also invented a number of board games, the most successful of which is Hare and Tortoise (1974).
 The German edition was awarded Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) in 1979.
Medici is a German-style board game by Reiner Knizia.
 Players buy cards in an auction and match in series and in sets to end up with most points from those formations.
Word board games are those games played on a board as players of the game attempt to construct words that use a scoring system.
 The player with the highest score wins the game.
 Many if not most board games are also available as software programs and online.
 Online word board games can be organized so that the player is playing against other people or the game can be played against an automated program acting as an artificial intelligence.
 Players of some word board games organize themselves into associations, clubs, and tournaments.
