A treasured family heirloom of mine is a box of Ivory dominoes which belonged to my Paternal Grandparents. They were given it during WW2 as a blackmarket exchange for some meat -they had a butcher's shop!
I remember being taught to play Chess by friend Charlotte's dad, Geoff -they had a board which was built into a little table with a drawer for the pieces.
Never played Backgammon but I love Scrabble -I have no-one to play with either Margaret
