Board and Card Games Timeline Feb 10th 2012, 11:04 Games have existed in some form throughout human history, but only have been commercially published with the goal of selling them to a wide audience since the 1800s. These are my picks for the most culturally and historically significant games published since 1800. If you prefer, you can also experience this list as a 14-week series of free email newsletters.

Games by Publisher The games listed here are also listed on a separate page organized by game publisher. It goes without saying that this list is subjective. It was written with an admitted U.S. bias. If you think I've missed an important game or included one that shouldn't be there, please post a note in the Board and Card Games Forum.
