Frequently asked questions

Where do these games come from?

Dominoes and mahjong really are Chinese in origin and go back several centuries. Chinese checkers, on the other hand, owes its name to marketing alone: the game was born in Germany in 1892. We tell that story in our article on Chinese checkers.

Are they suitable for children?
