| Description |
English: Board games, such as chess, checkers, and backgammon, were increasingly popular in Europe during the later Middle Ages, after it had been brought back by crusading knights from the Near East. Portable chess boxes with scenes of hunting, dancing, and courtship were mass-produced in inexpensive materials to contain the game pieces. The playing board is set into the box's underside. |
