UNIT 11: 3 11 (exercise 3)

1) Something like this game was played in I tr in Babylon - somewhere around


2600BCE. It hasn’t changed much. You need a board, checkers, two pairs of
dice, a doubling cube that kind of thing.
2) This game probably originated in India sometime in the 6th century and it
was a military game. It was originally called Chaturanga and had elephants,
horses and infantry. Now two players move pawns, bishops, knights, castles
(also called rooks) and a queen. They have to protect their king or capture
the other player's king.
3) In 1979 Chris Haney and Scott Abbott were working for newspapers in
Montreal, Canada. They couldn't play Scrabble because they were missing
some letters, so they invented a general knowledge game. In the original
game, there were questions in six categories (geography, entertainment,
history, arts and literature, science and nature and sports and leisure).
4) Back in 1903 in the United States someone started a game called the
Landlord's Game. By 1933 this had changed into one of the most popular
games in the world. Players need dice, special pretend money and various
cards which tell them what to do. They have to buy and sell houses, etc.
5) An American architect called Alfred Mosher Butts invented a game called
Criss Cross Words in 1938. It was a grid of 15 x 15 squares and you made
words by putting different letters in each square. Each letter had a value
(from 1-10) and some squares doubled or tripled that score. By 1948, Criss
Cross Words had its new name.

UNIDAD 11: 3 11 (ejercicio 3)

1) Algo como este juego se jugó en I tr en Babilonia, en algún lugar alrededor


del 2600 a. No ha cambiado mucho. Necesitas un tablero, damas, dos pares
de dados, un cubo de doblar ese tipo de cosas.
2) Este juego probablemente se originó en la India en algún momento del siglo
VI y era un juego militar. Originalmente se llamaba Chaturanga y tenía
elefantes, caballos e infantería. Ahora dos jugadores mueven peones, alfiles,
caballos, castillos (también llamados torres) y una reina. Tienen que proteger
a su rey o capturar al rey del otro jugador.
3) En 1979, Chris Haney y Scott Abbott trabajaban para periódicos en Montreal,
Canadá. No podían jugar Scrabble porque les faltaban algunas letras, así que
inventaron un juego de conocimiento general. En el juego original, había
preguntas en seis categorías (geografía, entretenimiento, historia, artes y
literatura, ciencia y naturaleza y deportes y ocio).
4) En 1903, en los Estados Unidos, alguien inició un juego llamado Landlord's
Game. Para 1933, este se había convertido en uno de los juegos más
populares del mundo. Los jugadores necesitan dados, dinero ficticio especial
y varias cartas que les digan qué hacer. Tienen que comprar y vender casas,
etc.
5) Un arquitecto estadounidense llamado Alfred Mosher Butts inventó un juego
llamado Criss Cross Words en 1938. Era una cuadrícula de 15 x 15 cuadrados
y formabas palabras poniendo diferentes letras en cada cuadrado. Cada letra
tenía un valor (del 1 al 10) y algunos cuadrados duplicaban o triplicaban esa
puntuación. Para 1948, Criss Cross Words tenía su nuevo nombre.
