A. It is a two-player board game played on a board with 64 squares. Each player begins the game with sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each of the six piece types moves differently. Pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent's pieces. The aim is to 'checkmate' the opponent's king.

B. The game is played on a square board with a 15x15 grid of cells, known as "squares". Two to four players get points by forming words from individual lettered tiles on the game board. The words are formed across and down in crossword fashion and must appear in a standard dictionary. There are 29 different language versions.

C. This game is played by two or four persons, with twenty-eight pieces, often known as bones or tiles. Each piece is a rectangular bone with a line dividing its face into two square ends. Each end is marked with a number of spots or is blank. Each player takes one piece (a bone) and the piece with more spots starts the game. The game continues with each player putting down a bone that matches in number one end of the previous bone.

D. It is a game and a sport that combines talent, skill and even a bit of luck. The game is played between two players or two teams. Nine throws are generally allowed for each person as a warm-up before a game begins. The team with the arrow closest to the bull's eye takes the first turn. Each player throws three pieces in his turn. The pieces must stay on the board for at least five seconds after a player's final throw to count.
