Before the days of radio, television and smart phones, people had to create their own entertainment much of the time. Playing games at home, at parties and at social gatherings was one of the more popular forms of entertainment. Many people today have forgotten how to play such games but on long, winter nights (and days) it can be fun to switch off phones and the TV and indulge in some vintage fun!
Games aren’t just for long evenings, however. If you’re going on a long journey for example, a book of vintage games is useful to have around. It keeps children from quarrelling and can entertain adults too. The Puffin Book of Car Games is the perfect volume to have around.
