I've talked a bit in the past about historical games and games you can learn a bit from, but today is a bit different! Today is about seeing specific historical figures - famous folks known for.... whatever they did. The games can integrate info about the folks in different ways; enjoy!

I've always enjoyed looking at board games as a means to learn any number of things. You can learn critical thinking skills, social skills, random tidbits of trivia, all sorts of different things. As a part of this, we can see a lot of different focus within the games themselves, looking at a specific period in time, cross section of information, general topic, etc. Here, I'm discussing some of my favorite games which focus on specific people in history - games about what these folks did, how they behaved, and more. It's a potentially fascinating, though abstract, insight into the past.

As always, I'd love to know what you all think! What're your favorite games about specific people through history, and why? Or is this something that you're not very interested in? Let me know in the comments!
