List of all Board Games.
Sanny
they are played.
I would like to know all about famous Board Games. And also know how
they are played.
A few Board Games I already know are
1. Chess
2. Checkers
3. Ludo
I also want to know how GO Game is played.
Bye

Do you mean games played on wooden surfaces?
I have well over a thousand boardgames (mostly wargames) and it is
impossible to say how each is played. I am far from being the biggest
collector (I heard of someone who has over 4,000 and I think he's still
buying).
Find an interest in a particular type and then browse Boardgamegeek.

Sanny, board games are constantly invented, and have been constantly
invented through history. Many are doubtless never known except
by the person who invented them (and maybe a few close friends).
Nobody could begin to tell you how many board games have ever
existed, let alone give you facts about each one. This is like
asking for a list of all books.

Define "Famous". A trip to the local library would likely net
you a book or two listing many board games and their rules. A
session with Google would likely be equally productive. Of
course, rules for proprietary board games like Monopoly or
Scrabble can't be posted to public sources; they're the property
of the people who own them.

Wikipedia (as you might expect), has a pretty good article on
Go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(board_game), and a
link to an interactive tutorial: http://playgo.to/interactive/.

I believe that a description of the rules need to be patented to be
protected, rather than just copyrighted. Unless you copy the rules
literally, you should be OK. Except I actually think that some of those
boardgames are patented...
I think it's interesting, this. If I were to make a game with identical
rules with, say, GIPF, I would be free to sell it, as long as I didn't
call it by that name or copy any of the artwork or text literally. We
see that this is a problem for the marketing based game companies -
there are actually clones of those games. However, artist based game
companies have little trouble with look-alikes. I think that the
reputation economy that the designer games have built effectively gives
them the protection that copyright law doesn't really give games: if
someone made a blatant Catan rip-off they probably wouldn't sell very
many games.
