context: Title: Francis Tresham (game designer)

Tresham founded and ran games company Hartland Trefoil (founded 1971), a company well known for its "Civilization" board game, until its sale to MicroProse in 1997.

  Title: Surakarta (game)

  Title: Tiger game played with forty
  Passage: Meurimueng-rimueng peuet ploh is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Sumatra, Indonesia.  The last part of the name, ploh, is sometimes spelled "plo".  It is specifically played by the Acehnese.  The game was published in the book entitled "The Achehnese" by Hurgronje, O'Sullivan, and Wilkinson in 1906 and described on page 204.  It is also played in Java, Indonesia where it is called Dam-daman.  However, Dam-daman is also a general term for draughts or checkers in Indonesia.  The game is also played in India especially in Punjab where it is called Ratti-chitti-bakri.  The game is basically an enlarged version of Alquerque.  It is specifically four times the size of an Alquerque board which is the same board used for Zamma.  The rules are exactly those of Alquerque, except that captures are not compulsory.
  Title: Vinci (board game)
  Passage: Vinci is a board game designed by Philippe Keyaerts.  It resembles a diceless variant of "Risk" with variable special abilities and an original decline mechanic, and is also similar in some ways to "History of the World".  The game's name, pronounced "Vinchi", means "to be conquered" in Latin.  In 2009, the game's mechanics were re-implemented with several changes and a fantasy-oriented theme as "Small World", also credited to Keyaerts, and published by Days of Wonder.
  Title: Awithlaknannai Mosona
  Passage: Awithlaknannai Mosona is a two-player strategy board game from the Zuni Native American Indian tribe of New Mexico, United States.  It is unknown how old the game is.  The game was described by Stewart Culin in his book "Games of the North American Indians Volume 2: Games of Skill" (1907).  In this book, it was named Awithlaknan Mosona.  Awithlaknannai Mosona resembles another Zuni board game called Kolowis Awithlaknannai (Fighting Serpents) with few minor differences.  The former having a smaller board, and depending upon the variant, it also has less lines joining the intersection points.  The rules are the same.  Awithlaknannai Mosona belongs to the draughts and Alquerque family of games as pieces hop over one another when capturing.  It is actually more related to Alquerque, since the board is made up of intersection points and lines connecting them.  It is thought that the Spanish had brought Alquerque to the American Southwest, and Awithlaknannai Mosona may have been an evolution from Alquerque.  However, in Stewart Culin's 1907 book, the Zunis claim that they had adopted a hunt game from Mexico similar to Catch the Hare and the Fox games of Europe, and transformed it into Awithlaknannai Mosona.  In these games, one player has more pieces over the other, however, the other player's piece has more powers.  The Zuni's equalized the numbers of pieces and their powers, and also may have transformed the board making its length far exceed its width.  Diagonal lines also replaced orthogonal lines altogether.  However, the hunt game from Mexico may have used an Alquerque board even though the game mechanics of their new game, Awithlaknannai Mosona, were completely different.
