How about a round of rummy? Or do you prefer chess? Games of all kinds are a wonderful pastime. In the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek (German Digital Library), you will not only find historical card decks and game figures, but also instructions for these games. With the right set of rules, a few good jokes, songs and sayings, you can easily become a "pleasant companion" and save yourself or your children from boredom. Enjoy it!
