About Event

On August 5th (Tuesday) at 20:00, there will be a lecture by archaeologist Pavel Kolosnitsin titled "Medieval Board Games". The lecture includes a game library. When ancient board games are mentioned, people often think of chess, checkers, and sometimes backgammon. However, there were many more games than that. For instance, have you heard about "Mühle" and "Alquerque"? At one time, these were the most popular games played almost everywhere. Historian and archaeologist Pavel Kolosnitsin will discuss the board games popular in medieval Europe and Asia, especially in medieval Novgorod, as well as how archaeologists and historians find them and decipher the rules of these old games. Additionally, there will be an opportunity to play "Mühle" and other simple yet fascinating old games! Pavel Kolosnitsin is an archaeologist, author, and co-author of over 50 scientific articles who has conducted archaeological research in the Novgorod region and Veliky Novgorod for more than 20 years. He is also the author of the blog Starchaeologist. The cost is 25₾ for prepayment, 30₾ on the day of the event, and 20₾ for the livestream.
