Play: American Game Boards, 1880-1940 at Ricco/Maresca

Are vintage game boards art? Ricco/Maresca’s current exhibition of American game boards from the late 19th century to 1940 aims to show that the boards are more than functional objects and are in fact ‘cousins of modern art.’ Having dealt in the boards for years but never dedicated a show to them, the gallery is now exhibiting parcheesi, backgammon, halma, checkers, Chinese checkers, mills, and solitaire boards that resemble mystical diagrams or architectural renderings. This well-used checkers board comes alive with a combination of color and geometry that will keep the eyes moving along with the game pieces. (On view through May 1st. Masks and social distancing required). American Unidentified, 5-color Checkers Game Board, enamel paint on wood, 18 x 18 inches, late 19th century.

The Game Crafter makes 9 sizes of custom printed game boards. They are made of a durable 60pt chipboard covered with heavy matte finish paper. They are custom printed on both sides with your artwork in full color and full bleed. They have an exposed chipboard edge and they are laser cut, so there's light soot on the edges of the board and that can be easily wiped off. This also makes the boards have a campfire smell for about a week.

If you are looking for traditional bi-fold, quad-fold, and six-fold game boards with wrapped edges and backing, then you'll want to check out our Folding Boards in our product catalog at: https://www.thegamecrafter.com/publish/products#foldingboards
