Wow! 8 children! Mrs. Crocomb had a lot of cooking to do!

Audley End is one of a kind. The fact that games were and are important is such a life connection.

Such an English retort: "Hang on old chap, just need to finish this game. Bowls first, war second." Went to Audley End a few months ago when I was on holiday just outside of Cambridge. Was absolutely boiling outside (going on for 30 degrees Celsius), and surprisingly cool inside. Would highly recommend for anyone who likes this kind of thing.

I felt like Alice came alive in these old pictures, like the author was inspired by the story of this historical game.

I had a flash back to playing old maid with my siblings.

[@andreabartels3176]

When I visited Kensington Palace, there was a room with a game table that reminded me of chutes and ladders. You needed a dice to go forward, there were places were you got a shortcut to go forward, places were you had to wait a round and just before the finish was a place that would take you back to the beginning.

Peter! I haven't seen him on video for ages!

[@katharinadelo6076]

Very interesting! "Old Maid" is known in Germany, too. We call it "Schwarzer Peter" (black peter) :)

The Georgian Era spans the years from 1714 to 1837, covering the reigns of George I, II, III and IV, as well as that of William IV. It was an era of great social, political and cultural changes.

I wonder if Lewis Carroll ever observed a living whist game?

[@goldenineke]

Interesting!

Where's Mrs. Crocombe?

[@melissasaint3283]

[@robnewman6101]

Victorian Era 1837-1901. Edwardian Era 1901-1910.

[@valentinafiata8033]

Well, the topic is interesting, but I always focus on the female presenter because she wears a sweater (maybe light sweater, but always a sweater), while I am here, in Italy, where I wear light dress but I keep on and on sweating and I am trying to cool myself down with showers but the water is also hot, and I feel like I am in the hell. 😂 😅

[@esmetodd]

Haha! We filmed this on a rainy day in April ☔️

[@pheart2381]

The tempurature is barely getting out of the teens in the uk,except London. Fell sorry for you people in the heat.
