วีดีโอ

I could listen to your voice all day. It's very pleasant. I would like to create my own traditional deck.

how did you go about framing your hanafuda set?

The boat moves like a rook And the afil/elephant jumps to squares diagonally.

I read in another set of rules that three pieces in a row make a wall that enemy pieces can't pass over.

chaduranga = chadu + ranga = four + colors

what are those cards framed in the background on the left? look really cool

Great work, much appreciated!

Que video similar recomiendas en español? Gracias 😁

At one point there was no queen for a long time

Hello I have just discovered your channel and I want to say how much I appreciate your sharing your knowledge.I also love the musical accompaniment choices THANK YOU SO MUCH❤

The earliest Go was invented as a divination tool It can be used to study astrology

Why can you pronounce "sh" perfectly when it's Spanish and written as "z" or latinised Arabic and written with an accent, but can't a single time when it's English, even calling our language "Ingliss"? You know, the language you publish your videos in? Is that some kind of petty spite because you think you have to use English to achieve a wide audience?

how are knucklebones not small objects?

Thx!

0:14 what is the cartoon movie's name?

I think I'm going to try and make Petteia next, really interesting video!

Poker and Koi Koi are the only two gambling games Yakuza 2 refuses to assign you an instant win item for. Luckily I know poker but this game feels like learning poker as a blind man, so I'm especially thankful for this video.

If you thought Senet was crazy, just wait until you get to the House of Representatives.

Again, Go is a militaristic game. It looks just like the trench warfare of WW1. It has nothing to do with: An invention to teach some prince. Flood control. Astrology. Divination. For divination, ask the Magic 8 Ball.

Interesting. Abraham was from Ur.

I bought this game being a fan a chess and to pay homage to it's roots. It was a lot of fun.

Chess is originated in India . Thanks you for the video : History of Chess ( Chaturanga) : First ever Sanskrit references to Chaturanga in India date back to the Gupta Empire in the 6th century CE, with the earliest clear mention found in Banabhatta's *Harsha Charitha* from around AD 625. Chaturanga , an ancient Indian strategy board game, is believed to have roots dating back 5000 years to the Indus Valley Civilization. The game's name, meaning "having four limbs or parts," is derived from the Indian epic *Mahabharata*, where it refers to four divisions of an army: elephantry, chariotry, cavalry, and infantry. Later “chaturanga” personal took it and named as Sjataranj and then to medieval Europe , now evolved into modern Chess.

I just discovered this game and I'm so happy for this video. Not only to learn how to play, but I love the history of old games.

10:14 there actually IS an electronic version. There a program called tabletop simulator and you can play any tabletopthing on it, including this. However only the classic board is on there. Im working on a mod for a 2nd millennium BCE board tho

Where'd you go?

Wikipedia hints at Fangqi games. Given the fact of parallel evolution of concepts in geographically disparate regions of the ancient world, there may be something to learn there to complete our reconstruction of Latrunculi.

So this is the original game of Sorry.

This is my favorite game, unlike senet which has guessed rules the rules for Game of Ur are mostly known with a couple tablets for them found. I have the same board as you and regularly play outside in the desert with friends.

Awesome vid! I was reading Cardono's book and didn't know what he meant by playing Talos - now I know that they actually used real bones as dice! Wow!

I can not thank you enough for these custom cards with the icons. It has been a really fun project for me and my wife to make the cards this Sunday morning.

I am a Sanskrit scholar from East Asia. It is wrong to say early Sanskrit work was only religious. Astounding works exist in literature, philosophy and sciences. Some of them may look religious but encoded in them we have the decimal number system and Hindu numerals (0,1,2,3...), so called phythogorean theorem, almost all "fables of Aoesep", a lot on astronomy, and of course you have systems like Yoga, Ayurveda, Pranayama which have now found a resurgence in use after scientific validation. In fact, Samkhya philosophy which predates, Boudha, Yoga, etc talks about the universe made of atoms and even the force of gravity - perhaps the first ever in the world. Please look up Kapila's works.

I think the game of go was popular with ancient kings and governments because it allowed them to rank people based on their intelligence. If you are a great Go player, you probably have a superior IQ, strong observational skills, and an ability to apply logic to solve problems under pressure. That set of skills could be very valuable to leadership in any age. In the ancient world, many people would rise to powerful positions due to their personal connections. In the game of Go, family and personal political connections mean nothing. If you are good, you are good ; it will be obvious. You will wipe the floor with the stupid entitled people who got their jobs through nepotism and aristocracy and you will rise on your merits. If the king needed a large group of really smart people for critical jobs, he could recruit from the best Go players and be assured that he had found some really clear thinking and powerful minds. Intelligence , like lightning, seems to strike the earth at random. The ability to find the best minds in your country if they weren't born to high houses could be the difference between victory and defeat. BTW... to be really good at Go, you have to adapt your strategy constantly. If your opponent is taking big steps, you should too. If they go for aggressive corners, you should build conservative ones and then attack their weak corners. Corners, sides, and then the center. If they play 4,4, I play 4,3 and attack without mercy. Once you have your territory secured, think about frustrating your opponent's ambitions. Attack, block (frustrate), or defend. When you have a strategy, be prepared to change it in an instant. A great game for life.

This is a really good video. Knowing the story behind something helps a lot in the learning process.

Dear presenter, I'm thankful for the video. As a scholar, I feel the need to point out some mistakes: the connection of the Polis with ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians is purely fictional and is not supported by archaeological or bibliographic data. Also the idea that the Ludus Latrunculorum and its terminology overlapped with Chess is mistaken: when chess was introduced in Europe, Latruncoli were already in disuse for more than a half millennium. The most important aspect that need to be fixed, is that in both Petteia and Latruncoli, there was no special piece: any ancient source mention it, and any archaeological finding report the presence of a special piece that could be considered as a 'king' or a 'dux'. About the Ludus Latrunculorum, the most exhaustive and accurate scholarly production is the one of Ulrich Schädler. Most of the others are inaccurate or speculative. All the scholars who study ancient board games gather once a year at the Board Game Studies Colloquium. I warmly encourage you to join this meeting if you want to get in touch with the specialist in this field. Sincerely, Marco Tibaldini

funny the word backgammon was translated to pokemon instead, that literally threw me off a lot, as to how a digital game like pokemon be akin to an ancient game like this so old that probably most people i know I ask would never know this one, good thing I do have a backgammon game back in the days, so I have quickly catch that up one when I see the board layout in the video lol

Your explanation of the history and reference the goddesses is very precise. My fav goddess is Hathor. The game looks fun and if I would definitely play it.

Hnefatafl is my favorite board game by far.

I always thought that "Rook" was meant for the bird "rook". But it meant "Ruhk" which means "Chariot". 🙂

I love the connection to the past, & how people so long ago were not that much different than us today, just with different accesses & knowledge of the resources around them. The only thing that has bothered me is that, for the recreated game, the rosettes mean something, but the other unique designs seemingly do not. Mechanically speaking, it does make sense, because having each square mean something would complicate the game too much. However, no one addresses whether they did mean something, so I remain curious. I don't know if the tablet dives into that, or if an academic article tries to addresses it, but it would be neat to discover why those design choices were made at the time.

Gracias por compartir las cartas con ayuda! Es más fácil aprender así. He visto que las reglas de puntuación varían un poco en diferentes videos. Me imagino que en Japón también es así según cada familia o región.

link for the game pieces?

Great video thank you

Could you please link your deck? I would love to buy this set

What is it with Japan and card/board games that practically require a cheat sheet? They took Mahjong and made Riichi Mahjong, and then this. Both of these games can't actually be fully comprehended without cheat sheets or an insane amount of experience.

what would be first chess variant that has two sides

Left side of the screen. What game is that? I used to play it in Japan 40 years ago and can't remember it or the rules, just that I played it and enjoyed it.

Go (like chess) is obviously a militaristic game. Its origin is obviously in warfare and military.

There is one relation to the markings on the ashtapada and the rules of shatranj and medieval chess. The marked squares are those which can never be attacked by any Elephant piece, given the initial setup of Elephants next to the King and Advisor. I was somewhat disappointed that a video titled "Chaturanga" was instead focused on the four player "Chaturaji". It would be interesting to have a follow-on video comparing the two-player Chaturanga with all the national chess variants (Shatranj, Chess, Makruk, shogi, xiang-qi) to trace its development as it spread around the world.

Very fascinating history behind Hanafuda cards. One character I know of besides Mario who is associated with Hanafuda cards is Genjuro Kibagami from Samurai Showdown, as he often references the cards in some of his attacks.
