Welcome to Ways To Play
This is a site about games, traditional and modern, that are played around the world.
There are two main areas on this site, of Articles about games or families of games, and Games themselves. There is also an index of game names by language, if you are trying to locate a game. Every page on this website should be considered a work in progress: nothing is definite, and everything is subject to revision! You might also be interested in the About page or perhaps the site-wide Bibliography.
For other sites about games, please visit the See Also page.
