Courtly “parlour games” are described in the literature, which begins around 1750, a term that refers not to a single game such as chess or draughts but as a generic term which included a whole repertoire of games. Even Empress Elisabeth “played”! From 24 June the Sisi Museum will be displaying a games case, the empress’s harp etc.
