I'm sure ancient peoples had much more opportunity to play outside. They didn't have our resources, but they had lots of playing field. Lots of room for throwing stones, darts, climbing. If you were old or unathletic you could still collect mushrooms or berries - that's a game of perception and patience. Singing or instrument playing contests, fishing contests. Or "let-see-who-can-grow-the-biggest-pumpkin" contest.We increasingly live in cities and going outside often means going into noise or crowd. My point: I'm sure many games they played were not on boards. They didn't have to be.
