CLASSIC PUB GAMES

CLASSIC PUB GAMES

The English public house, or 'pub' for short ,has a long association with gaming , from the droughts (checkers) of the roman taverns to the video games of the 21st century. Along the way many of these games have come to be considered as classic .what follows here is a round -up of our favorites.

These are mostly indoor games, though some - such as quoits-are generally played outdoors.And though many have their origins in the British pub,there are other that have that their roots in bars and cafes in Europe and the US. What draws them together is that they all remain popular in one form or another in pubs ,bars and cafes around the world.
Of course,these games are not restricted to drinking establishments. You might already have some 'Classic pub Games' at home as board games, while others require nothing more than a pack of cards. We have included the basic game of dominoes,a game closely associated with British pubs , and some dice games here,too, though you will find many more in the ' Coin, Dice and Tile Games' section of this book.
