"Various classes of objects were omitted from ""Cast Chinese Amulets"" (by this author), as their primary use was for gaming, rather than the bringing of good fortune. This book is intended to make good this omission. The pieces covered are:

Horse Coins, a Song Dynasty game played with counters bearing the names of famous horses and generals.

Chess Pieces, the well-known game of Chinese Chess, still played to this day.

Select An Immortal. A game played during the Song dynasty using counters with illustrations of one of the Immortals, and a short poem describing their activities.

Wine Drinking Game Coins. These are counters dating back to the time of the Han dynasty, and were used for a variety of drinking games.

Study of these pieces gives an insight to Chinese history and traditions; full details of this are given for each piece."
