The project is aimed to revaluate board games within academia and to historicize them for the first time as popular cultural products of the 1960s and 70s, especially in a transnational and interdisciplinary way. It is intended to do fundamental research on the interface of cultural history, histoire croisée and Spielwissenschaften.Based on the current state of rudimentary historical research, the Federal Republic of Germany was Europewide, even internationally leading the way as producer of board games during the 1960s. The 1970s then marked a "boom" which caused a differentiation of the board games’ landscape. Against this background, the project is aimed to verify the FRGs role as pioneer within the international board games’ culture of that time. So, the study is trying to trace processes of cultural transfer during the 1960s and 70s starting from the FRG via Great Britain, France and the Benelux countries that were the prime customers of German game licenses. Furthermore, the role of the USA in this context is analysed, too.Thereby, the project is questioning board games in terms of their potential to construct specific ideas of the society from which they emerged as products and that they likewise reflected as popular cultural phenomena. Furthermore, it is intended to figure out in how far these societal models, also ideas of "community" and "Family", have European or transnational significance or are rather national specificities. It can be assumed that popular board games had the potential to socialise, to communitise – a potential that has often been used strategically by family affairs, education policy as well as by pedagogues.

该项目旨在重新评估学术界的棋盘游戏，并首次将其作为20世纪60年代和70年代的流行文化产品历史化，特别是以跨国和跨学科的方式。本文旨在对文化史、历史学、社会主义和社会主义三者之间的界面进行基础性研究。根据目前的基本历史研究，在20世纪60年代，德意志联邦共和国在欧洲范围内，甚至在国际上都是桌面游戏的创造者。20世纪70年代标志着一个“繁荣期”，这导致了桌面游戏领域的分化。在此背景下，该项目旨在验证frg作为当时国际桌游文化先驱的角色。因此，该研究试图追溯20世纪60年代和70年代的文化转移过程，从英国、法国和比荷卢三国开始，这些国家是德国游戏授权的主要客户。此外，本文还分析了美国在这一背景下的作用。因此，该项目质疑桌游是否具有构建特定社会理念的潜力，而桌游正是从这个社会中诞生的产品，并同样反映出流行文化现象。此外，它的目的是弄清楚这些社会模式，以及“社区”和“家庭”的概念，在多大程度上具有欧洲或跨国意义，或者更确切地说具有国家特殊性。我们可以假设，流行的桌游具有社交、交流的潜力——这种潜力经常被家庭事务、教育政策和教师策略性地利用。
