These ancient games were the virtual reality of their time, allowing players to experience different perspectives and scenarios without the threat of real-life consequences. From contemplating Viking invasions in Tablut to racing through life’s challenges in the Aztec game of Patolli, each game offers a unique insight into the cultures and beliefs of ancient civilizations.
Led by experts in cognitive science, teaching, and linguistics, this workshop promises to be both educational and engaging. As Caleb Madison, Games Director at The Atlantic, notes, games are coherent systems of meaning, and by playing these ancient games, we can make meaningful connections to our own lives and curriculum.
Whether you’re a history buff, a game enthusiast, or simply curious about ancient civilizations, this workshop is sure to captivate and inspire. Don’t miss this opportunity to step into the shoes of our ancestors and experience the world through their eyes.
Join us at the Vigo County Public Library on November 15th at 2:00 PM for an unforgettable journey into the past. Admission is free, and all are welcome to attend. See you there!
