Many of the traditional games which have been a part of our pub culture for generations are in serious, perhaps even terminal decline. This decline in pub game play mirrors the more general decline in pub going of recent years. This blog aims to document a few of these fine (and fun) pastimes before they, and the pubs where they are still played, finally disappear forever. I urge you to help protect our traditions. Please visit your own local pubs, drink their beer, play their games...
