	Books: Serious Games (Weekly Alibi . 07-19-99)
		As David Parlett illustrates in this excellent book, board games have been and continue to be an important part of every culture.
		In dark days such as these, though, many people who find themselves browsing the games section of their local toy store might wonder if the ingenuity and brilliance of the old classics are as dead as the generations who created them.
		Parlett may lash out with the occasional jab at a particularly stupid modern game, but for the most part he focuses on the games that are unique, stimulating and built to last.

		Parlett is thus able to correct a number of the mistakes made by Murray, and adds considerably to the store of knowledge in the field of games.
		Parlett also in his book divides the games by a very logical classification, and tells about the historical development of each in turn.
		Despite the thoroughness with which Parlett treats the subject, the writing is lucid, sprinkled with interesting cultural references and topped with occasional flashes of dry British humour.

		Some period decks has indices of a sort: Parlett mentions a 16th century Spanish deck that has a dashed line across the top which indicates the suit of the card.

	The Oxford History of Board Games
		I cannot hope to explain Mr Parlett's inclusion criteria, but broadly speaking the book covers ancient and traditional games in considerable depth, moving onto 'modern' boardgames only in a disappointingly slim final chapter less than 10% of the volume.
		The deep irony of this is that Mr Parlett seems to take great delight in categorising games, and like me, cherishes new game mechanisms - or ludemes as he terms them - in which respect the last decade has proved decidedly abundant.
		I suppose in Mr Parlett's defence, the book is a history of board games, and traditionally even modern history does not often cover the most recent era.

		The early descriptions of "cards" often occurred in restrictions on gambling, which would imply that the first card games were mostly of this type.

		Another rule of French tarot is that you are also obliged to try to play a higher trump when trumps are led; but this rule cannot be covered by Parlett's notation.

	New Appendix to the Columbus Book of Euchre
		That further discredits the notion that the French brought euchre to America, up the Mississippi River; and it further confirms the theory that the game originated in America with the Pennsylvania Dutch (who were not Dutch, but southwest Germanic peoples, including Alsatians, who played the game of Jucker in the Old World).
		Also, Parlett has discovered that the euchre term “march” is not to be equated with marching like a soldier but comes from the German Marsch, a playing card term that means losing all the tricks.
		Parlett told me in an e-mail that he thought the odd spelling "euchre" might have been coined by someone hearing the German word “Jucker” – the name of the Alsatian game from which euchre derived – and comparing it to the sound and spelling of the Eucharist.
