Garry's Games
Here you can read about and obtain by download some historical boardgames that are both fun and educational. All for nothing!
There are three games here so far: two on Tudor history, and one on the history of ancient Mesopotamia.
They have been translated into Italian, Japanese, French, Dutch and German.
They have been used in schools for kids as young as eight, so they can't be too complex. On the other hand, if you have never played a strategy game before you may find the rules unfamiliar and daunting.
If you find the rules of Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit a challenge, I'd stay away. We hate remembering rules ourselves, so we've tried to make them as organic as possible. After the first Turn it will get a lot easier, and you should find that it all fits together.
