This insightful book is a compilation of games known in the thirteenth century and is entitled the Libro de los Juegos (Book of Games). It was commissioned by Alfonso X (1221-1284) during his reign as King of Castile and currently rests inside the magnificent Escorial........

The enlightening account is shared in the introduction and proposes a compelling way for living life. It relates the reasons why the three types of game (chess, dice and tables) were originally invented and reveals the reason for the page ordering of the games contained in the book.
