This month over on the main feed, we dedicated an episode to households and the home. Since we're all staying in as much as possible right now, let's take a look at what folks have been doing to while away the time over the millennia. We've got games of tag, games of chance, games of skill, games galore! Plus, we take a look at how dice can tell us a lot about the beliefs of the people playing with them, and no matter how much remains in the episode, we cannot understate how long Amber laughed at Anna's report on  the Game of the Goose.
