Lae



Lae (S."Great Numbers") was a popular board-game in most of the lands once ruled by the Dunedain.It was believed to have originally been derived from a more simplified version of the ancient Númenórean Board-game known as Pân, but added the element of luck to the element of strategy and was played with a smaller numer of game stones on a smaller board. It was popular in Taverns and Inns where opponents often gambled for money and spectators used to set bets on the adversaries.It was however disliked by Nobility and the more learned classes who considered it vulgar.
