Description
Long before gaming captured academic attention, there were plenty of educational games, exploiting technologies of print and cardboard rather than digital media, designed for use in families with a degree of leisure and income. This exhibit features (more or less) educational games across multiple languages, diverse subjects, and nearly two centuries, beginning in the late 18th century.
