Playing any kind of game is one good way to get the desired relaxation. It soothes our stressed mind and body. It would give us reasons to pass times and just sit all the time while playing the desired game.
However, players should learn to play the games fairly. When playing with others and you see them do not play fairly, are you going throw in the towel and emulate the unfairness too? The idea of a game is to teach sportsmanship or gamesmanship, so playing unfairly is a subtle and improper breach of the purpose of such play. Therefore, playing fairly should be everyone’s ultimate goal.
It is a pride on every player to receive a good thought from other players the words like “Oh, you’re such a good player. You keep the rules very well and you make every move abide on the policy of the entire game”. Isn’t overwhelming? Yes. Sportsmanship is one of the very good values one must possess. Learn to play fairly. Win the games. Win friends.

One of the favorite games of elderly people is called mahjong. In this article let us be oriented with the history of this game. Let us take a look.
It is also spelled mah-jong or mah-jongg. Of course we all know that it is of Chinese origin, dated back especially from the court of King of Wu. It is said to be that in his kingdom, there lived to be a beautiful princess in seclusion. To keep herself from utter boredom, she had invented a game of her own. From this idea, she began to carve domino-shaped pieces of ivory and bamboo.
After doing it, she asked three of her maids who play the game she had invented with her. The exact rules that were applied are unknown but the lowest score is said to have been 22 points and the highest 389,928 points.
For many centuries the game remained as the royal game exclusive for royal families. Do you believe that it was against the law for the commoners to play the game? If there were commoners who were caught playing this game, he or she will be decapitated as penalty. However, due to the increasing public demand, the penalty was lifted around 500 A.D. and this was the time when everyone can play the said game.

When I was kid I got curious on the Games of the Generals. I really wanted to play it but I was really young to understand the various rules of this game. This game is also called in Tagalog language as Salpakan. It is commonly abbreviated to GG, or is most fondly called on its shorter term The Generals. On its overview, this game is an educational wargame and is invented in the Philippines by Sofronio H. Pasola, Jr. himself.
The entire game can be usually played within twenty to thirty minutes. The only issue of this for me is it is you need an arbiter to play the game and it is really hard to find a referee. To play the game, logic is needed. It stimulates armies at war trying to outflank and outmaneuver each other. As in actual warfare, the game allows only one side’s plan to succeed.
As a whole, this game is one of the best games I have ever played. If ever I have leisure time, I always find time to play it. It is a good way for me to relax after a long hours of working.
