 "Roman games for young and old")
Nobilianus, a young Roman boy, explore you to discover his toy chest. There are games that require strategy, luck, and skill for you to enjoy.
Nobilianus has to stay in bed due to illness, leaving his favourite puzzle games gathering dust in his toy chest. A fantastic opportunity to learn about popular ancient games under his instruction! Nobilianus has an amazing collection, from games of skill that use animal bones to strategically challenging board games that are still fun to puzzle and play with after 2000 years.
Our drop-in session invites visitors to discover, try things out and get hands-on. No booking is required, and people of all ages can participate at any time.
Game instructions are available in German, French, Italian and English.
