DARTS - HISTORY AND INFORMATION ON DARTBOARDS AND DARTS The first definite references to a game featuring darts appear in 2 journals dated 1819 in the form of a game called Puff and Dart. In this game, a blowpipe was used to fire a dart at a target of concentric rings - much like an archery target. Interestingly, the game was known as a Pub or Inn game at that time.ROYAL GAME OF UR
The non-royal game of Shahr-e Sukhteh. In 2004, archeologists found an old game in the 5000 year old ancient Iranian city of Shahr-e Sukhteh (Persian for "burnt city") which many people have called the oldest version of Backgammon ever found (but this is spurious - there is no logical ancestry from this game type to Backgammon).SHUT THE BOX
History. It's not known for sure where Shut the box originated. Most theories point to a source in Northern France and give Normandy or the Channel Islands as the specific location. It appears that it has been played in this region for at least two hundred years and is a game popular with sailors and fishermen.PIN BILLIARDS

A set of 144 Mah Jong tiles consists of 36 tiles in the Bamboo suit, 36in

THE ORIGIN OF BILLIARDS, SNOOKER, POOL AND CARAMBOLE The origin of the Billiards family of games is partially shrouded in mystery but it is many centuries old and almost certainly derived from an out-door game of played during the 14th century in Northern Europe.BAR BILLIARDS
The similarity of Bar Billiards with Bagatelle, a game that was very popular for more than a century after 1770 is so evident that it seems highly likely that Bar Billiards is a derivative of Bagatelle via some lineage but that lineage is, at present, unknown.For more information on this earlier game, please visit the separate page on the history ofBagatelle.
