This includes not just video games, but also board games, card games, sports, and other forms of play throughout history. Scholars in game history analyze how games have influenced societies, how they have evolved technologically and culturally, and what they reveal about the people who created and played them. The field combines elements of history, cultural studies, technology, and design to provide a comprehensive understanding of games' roles in human experience.
