World War II
Jaques is a family-owned company devoted to increasing people's pleasure by introducing a wealth of games and sports, most of them still very much in play today. Why then begin with a recollection of war?
Ironically, John Jaques owes its survival to the company's inventive and little-known role in the deadliest game of all. The work was top secret, commissioned by the government during the Second World War through MI9, the clandestine Intelligence Department responsible for "Escape and Evasion". Its function was to help prisoners of war and downed aircrew escape from and evade the enemy.

History of the Worlds most influential Games Company.
We Started making Games manufacture over 210 years ago making us the "Oldest sports and Games Company in the world"

We are Still owned and Run Entirely by direct descendants of our Founder, Thomas Jaques, and are one of a handful of companies globally to be both over 200 years old and owned and run by the same family continually for the entire time.

Backgammon  games have been played for thousands of years in all parts of the world and certainly during the Egyptian, Greek and Roman eras. 

The History of Backgammon may derive from the ancient Egyptian game of Senat, which was played on a set of 3 x 12 points with 3 x 6 sided dice.  Popular in a variety of forms throughout history, backgammon was probably originally brought to England by men returning from the Crusades.

Buying Bagatelle Boards

The Jaques Wooden Bagatelle board evolved from efforts to re-release more Jaques Indoor Games.
History of Bagatelle

Nobody is sure where or when Chinese dominoes came into existence, but they were reported by European travelers during the Renaissance and are still popular in Asian countries today. It is assumed that Chinese dominoes were the ancestor of Mah Jong.

Chinese dominoes are different from the usual set of Western dominoes in many ways. About the only things they have in common are a relationship to dice, being made from a hard black material and having their spots drilled into the surface and then colored for visibility.

There has been an unusually high demand for the rules to Domino games. I think I finally figured out why. Excite, a search site run by ArchiText, has a review of the Game Cabinet that mentions that you can find the rules to Dominoes here. At one time the DominoWeb site offered these rules (after a fashion) and you could find that site by going out the back of the Cabinet
