At best, I am an enthusiastic amateur. This means my work may be incomplete, biased and, (I hope only rarely) outright wrong. I work hard to use reliable sources, double-check for accuracy, and draw reasonable conclusions. However, the scholarship surrounding ancient games is constantly growing and evolving; as a part-time game researcher and YouTube content creator, I am not always up to date on the most recent findings. If I present anything that is demonstrably incorrect, please call me out so I may increase my personal knowledge and understanding of this fascinating subject. Reach me at heygamingbench@gmail.com.

About Prudh: The Gentlemen's Game, from BoardGameGeek:

Prudh (“Prew”) is a classic-style abstract game. It uses a 6x6 two-color board and 36 identical pieces. The color of each space determines who controls each piece. Players take turns consolidating their power and attacking their opponents' spaces. The goal is to score the most points without running out of moves. Prudh is a derivation of “Prudhomme,” meaning a wise, honest, or sensible man. The game has many variations and is known by many names in the Vinlant universe, but we think we've settled on the rules we like best. -description from the publisher
