In the "Nest" on Sundays they teach to play taurel

The historical and archaeological complex "Gnezdovo" opens doors for all lovers of history and intellectual games. On Sundays at 15:00, free master classes on tavrels begin here - an ancient Russian board game, which is considered the progenitor of chess.

Participants will be able to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Ancient Russia and feel like real commanders. The gameplay differs from classical chess by colorful characters: the usual pawns here are replaced by Warriors, kings - Princes, and elephants - wise Magi.

During the workshop, guests:

get acquainted with unusual game figures;

master the unique mechanics of building “impregnable fortresses” (towers);

learn the rules of “captivity” of the opponent’s figures;

they will play their first games under the guidance of mentors.

Participation in classes is free. This is a great opportunity not only to develop strategic thinking, but also to touch the living history on the main archaeological site of the region.
