Edited by Frederic V. Grunfeld and produced in association with UNICEF, the volume chronicles the history, rules, and construction of hundreds of games — from board games and card games to outdoor sports and children's play — drawing connections between cultures through their shared love of play. Written with an accessible and celebratory tone, it instructs readers on how to recreate these games at home while simultaneously illuminating the anthropological and social contexts that gave rise to them. The result is a work that argues persuasively for the universality of play as a fundamental human experience, making it an indispensable reference for educators, game enthusiasts, historians, and curious readers of all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887831953627,"sku":"2026200007439-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/27fb3eb2-6b52-48e3-a3d9-253ceb9018ad.png?v=1781746714","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007439-secondhand-games-of-the-world-how-to-make-them-how-to-play-them-how-they-came-to-be","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
