After scouring books of games and eliminating some because they were not very good games and some because they would have been very difficult to make we decided on Backgammon and Noughts and Crosses to complete the collection.

Noughts and Crosses was similar, to Granny’s Draughtboard but with nine large squares. It had double-sided, circular playing pieces, with a cross on one side of each so that either of the players could use any pieces, which was just as well as there would frequently be one missing. They were light, soft, about the size of a dinner plate and very aerodynamic.

Amazingly, when the games are laid out for people to play, this is the most popular. Inevitably children begin by using the playing pieces as frisbees but quickly settle down to play, usually very competitively. The popularity may just be because the game is the quickest to play.
