Ludus Anglicorum

  • ... that the "English Game", Ludus Anglicorum, was the most popular tables game in the mediaeval England of Chaucer's time?

Interesting old game, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. In the article, I wonder why games are italic, bit this one isn't. Awaiting qpq. - Please: close br by a /, to not confuse editor colours (fixed here and in the article). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:22, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt:. Thanks Gerda. I'll take a look at that. It's common practice in the sources, maybe because it helps them stand out e.g. French Trictrac shows that the game is "Trictrac" not "French Trictrac". But there may be a way round that not involving italics. Bermicourt (talk) 19:07, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
