Royal Ontario Museum Workshops: From Palaces to Family Rooms — Board Games in South Asia

Long before they were global pastimes, South Asian board games served as sacred metaphors for the universe and rigorous training grounds for royal strategy. This program explores the roots of board game favourites like chess, ludo, and snakes and ladders. Learn how these games evolved from elite tools for military and moral instruction to household staples. Presented in partnership with the Royal Ontario Museum. Registration required.
