DOMINOES SET Games - Dominoes
$21.95 $14.95 On SALE!

CLEARANCE ITEM

This Dominoes Set is hand-made from fully finished buffalo bone with 28 tiles. Dominoes was a favored game played by Civil War soldiers in the camps. Recorded history states that Dominoes games began appearing in the US around the year 1863. 

In 1863, a new game variously described as All Fives, Fives or Cribbage Dominoes appeared for the first time in both English and American sources; this was the first scoring game and it borrowed the counting and scoring features of cribbage, but 5 domino spots instead of 15 card points became the basic scoring unit, worth 1 game point. The game was played to 31 and employed a cribbage board to keep score. (Wikipedia)

chekers1 Games - Checkers Field Game
$32.95 $24.95 On SALE!

Checkers Game with Field Storage bag

While the oldest known Checkers artifact unearthed in Iraq dates back to 3000 BC, the earliest known version of the game comes from a game called Alquerque, which was played in ancient Egypt in 1400 BC. After years of being played the Egyptian way, in 1100 AD, a Frenchman adapted it to be played on a Chessboard with 12 pieces per player.

Then, in 1756 an English mathematician created official rules for the game, and in 1840 was the start of the very first World Championships. Arthur Samuel then created a computerized Checkers program in 1952, which helped turn Checkers into the global phenomenon it is today. 

Will include 24 game pieces and 1 storage bag.  Field storage bag is large enough for you to store all your games in one place.

Please note, colors and style may vary.
