Chess
Medieval Europeans played chess, though it was really a game for wealthy people because chess pieces were expensive. It began to be played about the year 900, but was a bit different than the modern game. It developed during the Middle Ages, becoming more and more like what it is today, and was mostly as it now is by the year 1475. There is a link below.

The board game "Stratego" is similar to medieval warfare, as it involves strategic planning, deception, and tactical maneuvers to outwit your opponent and capture their flag. Players command armies of different ranks and abilities, much like the hierarchy of soldiers in medieval warfare. The game requires players to anticipate their opponent's moves and adapt their strategies accordingly, mirroring the dynamic nature of battles in medieval times.
Chess is from India. It had spread from India to the Middle East before the Crusades, and medieval Crusaders returning to Europe brought the game back with them. By the year 1300, chess was widespread throughout all of Europe.
the game of chess we know was developed in the 1500's based on a similar game from India that has been around since ancient times.
A board game piece represents a person who is playing the game (in a game such as Monopoly). Chess pieces are a bit different, they represent soldiers or leaders in a war being played out on the board. In Risk, pieces represent military units, such as battalions. Different games have different designs.
