A few months back, most collaborators (that includes me) writing for Pocketcultures (a very good culture/travel website with a busload of interesting contributors from around the globe that you should visit) started working on a book. The whole thing started with an email from Marta, PocketCultures contributor in Spain who wondered: “Is a book feasible?” The idea caught fire and Pocketcultures decided to make a book collecting games we (the contributors) used to play as children. And collecting games in this case means children’s games from all over the world.

And guess what: you can get this lovely ebook with lots of illustrations for free over on pocketcultures.com.

So, if you (or your children) are interested in how games are played all over the world you should check this out. Did I mention that it is lovely?
