In 2 words game
Hello everyone!
Today we are going to talk about Tangram!
Arrange your pieces, from 1 player and from 7 years old for 20 to 40 minutes, to recompose different shapes!
In tangram, we will have a square composed of seven shapes that will allow us to recompose other larger shapes. We can print models to reconstruct with our shapes and play by timing ourselves for even more challenges.
Let's now move on to its possible origins.
No one knows exactly the origin of this game of patience and imagination. The oldest traces of this puzzle come from China, hence its name Chinese puzzle. It is more commonly known there under the name of "board of wisdom" or "board with seven tricks".
The first Western writings about it apparently date from the beginning of the 19th century. It then became very popular. So much so that some of its figures were used as models for the creation of decorations for dishes, lacquered boxes and tables.
The origin of the word "Tangram" is no more well known than that of the game. Some claim that it comes from the name of the young girls of the ship "Tanka" from Canton who taught this game to foreign sailors. Others claim that this word comes from England, where "trangram" was the old word used for "trinket" which meant toy or patience game and which today designates a trinket.
Children will have fun listening to the famous legend which tells that 1000 years ago, in China, a man named "Tan" dropped a tile which broke into 7 perfectly geometric pieces (a parallelogram, a square and five triangles).
And, while he was trying to recompose it, he discovered that a multitude of combinations using the 7 pieces were possible. More than 3600 figures are indeed possible.
Have a good day and good game ;)

Dice Games
The game of tesserae (tesserarum ludus). A game of dice to roll, place, and move to create combos. A game of dice made of bone, ivory, and wood. The dice were not cubic but oblong. Shaped like pyramids. The Roman dice were as we know them today, facing each other to make 7 on both sides. To play dice, people used a cone. They were shaken and then thrown. Before, the ancients played games with 3 dice, then 2.
Backgammon. For the Greeks, playing dice is called tric-trac. When playing tric-trac, the die on our side is for us and the one on the other side is for our opponent.
The game of the best shot. (Greece, Rome). It was played with dice or knucklebones. The best roll was the triple 6. We roll the dice to try to get it. If a 6 comes up on its own (ace), we put down a sum of money each time, and as soon as a player gets the best roll with all three 6s, they win the full amount.
In the election game, we choose three numbers that we think will come up on the dice. If we don't get them, we pay a fine (a sum of money); if they come up, we win a portion of the winnings.
Have a good day and enjoy the game ;)
