There was a time when certain games were only available to certain royal individuals and kept from the commoner. This pattern of control has slipped away over the ages as knowledge became readily available - turning common men into sovereigns of themselves. Unfortunately there are those among us who strive to keep this knowledge hidden or under lock-and-key so only a chosen few have access to the dynamics and mechanics that are open to everyone. This book is a method to ensure these games and their mechanics are kept available and open, and as a foundation for those who seek to continue progress and the advancement of humankind.The rules for Chess and Go are within this volume, along with the essay that created a scandal in the 1700s, "The Morals of Chess" by Benjamin Franklin. And to make this volume complete, the original tabletop wargame "Little Wars" created by H.G. Wells is included, showing the rules that were the origin of tabletop role-playing and wargames played today.
