Floor Games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Floor Games by H. G. Wells

Floor Games was written by science fiction author H. G. Wells in 1911 and is a lighthearted, sometimes humorous discussion about the theory, purpose, and methodology of playing a variety of children's games with models, miniatures, and other props.

Floor Games is often somewhat misleadingly characterized as a "companion book" to Wells' Little Wars, even though that book was not actually published until 1913, two years after the release of Floor Games. As the text of the earlier book makes clear, however, it was conceived of as a self-standing volume that the author might eventually decide to follow with a text devoted purely to wargames.

Numerous reprints of Floor Games have been published in the century since its initial release. The most recent edition of the book was published by Skirmisher Publishing LLC [1] in 2006 and includes a foreword by game design giant James F. Dunnigan an introduction by game designer and author Michael J. Varhola.
