Since the beginning of human civilization, there has been a game on the table. The traces of table games can be found in almost all kinds of ancient civilizations and even some prehistoric civilizations. In a large number of historical documents and archaeological relics, we have found evidence of the existence of table games - we found SENET, which is considered to be the oldest table game so far, in the ancient tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh MERKNERA.
The modern revival of table games began in the early 20th century, with the formation of the middle class in western countries. This group has the time and money conditions for leisure consumption and is well educated. They naturally become the recipients of this game. This popularity became more widespread after World War II: the world's political and economic system was facing post-war reconstruction, but people were unable to extinguish their thirst for war and competition. As a result, a large number of table games, which simulated competition in the form of games, came into being, including a large number of prototypes with virtual war as the theme material, which became the golden age of the development of table games. Computer games are close relatives of desktop games. Many landmark computer games such as "civilization" are all developed from the version of desktop games. With the rise of computer games, table games show signs of decline, which is also known as the rise of German table games, making table games glow with new youth.
Nowadays, table games have been popular in Europe and the United States for decades, and have long been a popular social activity. We meet and make friends through games. In foreign countries, desktop games have become as diverse as books, covering war, trade, culture, art, urban construction, history and other aspects. In the long period of development, two distinctive factions have formed, namely, "German desktop games" and "American desktop games", which are often referred to in the industry.
