Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Some anniversaries deserve to be celebrated. So it seemed apt that thirty years of sustained commitment by the Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche to studies in ludicity and the history of games and gaming should occasion a significant mark of recognition. We decided that this should take the form of a carefully planned exhibition that would convey the importance of the subject, focussing in particular on games of chance, given that gambling has always been the most noteworthy aspect of ludicity because of the many risks associated with its financial implications. We set out too to make the survey serious, clear and accessible, with coverage that brought it right up to the present day. All these features are reflected in this partial catalogue, which stands with the exhibition as a testimony to three decades of dedicated research, published since 1995 in the house journal Ludica.
