In celebration of the history of games and the universality of play, the New York State Library has created a new exhibit, “Changing the Game: Board Games, Card Games & Table Top Role Playing Games,” from the Library’s collection featuring hidden gems relating to games and gaming.
The exhibit explores the classics like card games, chess and backgammon; modern day favorites like Dungeons and Dragons; and games that capture historical moments in-between.
This exhibit will be on view on the 7th Floor of the Cultural Education Center from August to September 2025.
The Cultural Education Center, located at 222 Madison Avenue in Albany, is home of the New York State Library, New York State Museum and New York State Archives.
