Welcome to
The Past-at-Play
Lab
Together we will answer
How did we play in the past?
How do we play with the past today?
Thank you all for having played with us over the last year! We had a great time hosting all your games and we will let you know what we have learned as soon as possible.
Stay playful! We have many more opportunities to play with us waiting for you.
You can still join us for a range of online, playful events and other activities, including Live-Streamed Let’s Plays of historical games on Twitch, informative Game Bits about games that relate to the past, online boardgame tournaments and more!
Leiden is the City of Science 2022, and for that momentous occasion we are evolving!
Past at Play becomes Leiden Ludens!
“For many years the conviction has grown upon me that civilization arises and unfolds in and as play.”
Johan HuizingaForeword to Homo Ludens
