Play is a social marker. Everyone plays, but not in the same way, nor with the same means. Chess recalls the importance of hierarchy, especially royal: major pieces have more freedom and movement; the pawns are sacrificed; Once the king is defeated, the game ends. Some games like mérelle, game of alignment of pawns, are more popular: people and nobility play it willingly. However, the Church prohibits monks, priests and bishops from playing. However, many testimonies show that this rule is not respected. Find many board games on the Crèvecœur site: chess, of course, mérelle, the game of fierges (or draughts), pilgrim or even dice.
