Tudor Games

Picture from a Tudor woodcut showing a game of backgammon.

There are lots of games we still play today that the Tudors enjoyed. An ever popular game that was well played during the period was merelles. It is a bit like noughts and crosses or tic tac toe only better! Normally this game is played on a board with counters and you need two players, but if you fancy a game try this site:
