Interesting link about IRANIAN Games

Altogether there are around 2500 various recorded games in Iran. At least hundreds of them are not repetitive with different names. First they might seem quite simple unimportant games, but they can each reflect various cultures of different corners of Iran. It is worth notifying that the cultural, social, climatic, historical, geographical and many other aspects of each locality are the determining factors of the games played there.
