Leave a Comment

Bronze is a metal alloy consisting primarily of copper, usually with tin as the main additive. It is hard and brittle, and it was particularly significant in antiquity, so much so that the Bronze Age was named after the metal.

A board game is a game in which counters or pieces are placed, removed, or moved on a premarked surface or “board” according to a set of rules.

Without the owner’s input, the object’s meaning is invisible and cannot be articulated.
