Chinese checkers probably do not come from the Far East, despite their name. On the other hand, Chinese checkers are a variant of the game Halma, a game created in England at the end of the 19th century by the American George Howard Monks, who invented a game called Halma, a name derived from the ancient Greek meaning "jump" but also an ancient pentathlon event. This first version of the game is played on the grids of a 16x16 square board. The version we know today was adapted under the name Stern-Halma (Halma: star) and patented in 1892 by the German company Ravensburger. This version of the game is played on a star-shaped game board. However, it can be seen that there is a rather similar version on a star-shaped board in Asia...

It's a game that starts from a situation that is usually random and disordered and ends in a well-defined order, following predetermined rules.

But the best-known puzzles are the Puzzle and the Rubik's Cube... The first puzzles were called "Stomachion", a square game divided into 14 parts, which had to be put together in a predetermined order and could be combined in many different shapes. Puzzles were very popular at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Professor Hoffmann published a book with the title: "Puzzles old and new."

Dominoes can be played almost anywhere, whether they are made of wood or plastic. In the past, dominoes were made of bone or even ivory. So there are many different kinds of dominoes with countless variations, some of which are very amusing. A domino is made up of simple blocks that can be combined and assembled in many ways from very simple to very complex. It is a game that requires and demands a lot of skill and strategy. There are Chinese, English and European dominoes.... Archaeologists have reportedly found dominoes in ancient Egypt and among the Arabs, but the origin of the domino is attributed to China around the 12th century. Dominoes first appeared in Europe in Italy in the 18th century and from that time onwards they spread throughout Europe. Dominoes became the most played game in living rooms, pubs and families, becoming one of the most popular games. Dominoes are played by 2 or 4 people with 28 blocks. Each block is divided in two on the top side and has numbers (but not always), sometimes the same, but often different, but always unique. The principle of the game is to take turns following a pattern with your blocks, block by block, trying to match the identical face of your block to the identical face of the competitor's block. When a player cannot place a domino, he picks a piece and passes his turn. The winner is the one who has placed all his dominoes. This giant domino is a classic game gift, an original gift idea for a birthday or an unusual gift for the holidays.

It can be said that an oracle is someone who calls himself divine and practices divination.Divination is the ability to augur, to predict, to speculate, to foresee events that could happen in the future. The oracle transmitted predictions that are most often peremptory and absolute... The oracles date back to ancient Greece and Zeus was undoubtedly the first oracle in history. By extension, it can be said that the prophets, in the Judeo-Christian tradition, were oracles who brought divine messages from God. Our game is based on the same principle of transmitting divinatory messages. However, with our Oracle, we talk more about fun than about real divinatory messages. Our Oracle allows you to have fun without any pretension and thanks to chance... The goal here is only to have fun thanks to a big magnetic ball which stops on a funny and not serious answer to a question you ask. Will I win the lottery in the next draw? Are you finally going to clean your desk? Will I meet the woman of my life? Will I win the most beautiful cat competition? The answers are far from serious. This game is an unusual gift idea, a Kdo idea for a teenager, for the office, an original gift idea for a woman, a man or for whomever you want.

The link between the animal and savings began in the 18th century in the British countryside, where pig rearing made it possible to feed people at lower cost. At the time, owning one or more pigs was a very good investment for farmers. They looked after their animals and fed them until they sold every part of the pig, because as everyone knows, "everything is good in pigs". This is how the pig came to symbolise thrift!
