Did the concepts of tabletop games (both childrens board games, more modern tabletop wargames and tabletop roleplaying games) ever really make it into the USSR?
I know they are fairly popular today at least (lots of tabletop wargaming stuff coming out of russia) but was there any roots to build from, any imports etc? Cheers! Soviet America is Free America!
Under communism, there is no freedom; you are not free to live in poverty, be homeless, to be without an education, to starve, or to be without a job 29 Mar 2012, 20:47

I didn't think it'd be called 'Морской бой' since that's also the name used for the game called Battleship in English, and for the arcade machine. Thanks for helping me find it Pug!
