Editing Tables game (section)

==== Europe ====
By the 17th century, table games had spread to [[Sweden]]. A wooden board and counters were recovered from the wreck of the [[Regalskeppet Vasa|''Vasa'']] among the belongings of the ship's officers. Tables games appear widely in paintings of this period, mainly those of Dutch and German painters, such as [[Adriaen van Ostade|Van Ostade]], [[Jan Steen]], [[Hieronymus Bosch]], and [[Pieter Bruegel the Elder|Bruegel]]. Some surviving artworks are [[Cardsharps (Caravaggio)|''Cardsharps'']] by [[Caravaggio]] (the tables board is in the lower left) and ''[[The Triumph of Death]]'' by [[Pieter Bruegel the Elder]] (the tables board is in the lower right). Others include [[Hell (Bosch)|''Hell'' (Bosch)]] and [[c:File:Jan Steen - The Interior of an Inn ('The Broken Eggs') NG NG NG5637.jpg|''Interior of an Inn'']] by Jan Steen.
