An international team of archaeologists, including experts from Slovakia, has documented the discovery of nearly 40 carved game boards located near two historic churches in Slovakia. The game boards offer a unique insight into the daily lives and leisure activities of people during the medieval period. The finds were made surrounding churches, suggesting these spaces may have been social hubs for the community. Researchers believe studying the boards can reveal information about the types of games played, social interactions, and potentially even economic activity. The precise locations of the churches were not specified in the report. The ongoing research promises to shed further light on medieval life in Slovakia through the lens of recreation and play.
