Swiss Museum of Games, Game museum in La Tour-de-Peilz, Switzerland.
The Swiss Museum of Games occupies a medieval castle on Lake Geneva, featuring a collection of 10,000 games from different time periods and regions.
The museum opened in 1987 after local residents voted to transform the 13th-century castle into a public space dedicated to games and recreation.
The collection includes traditional games like mahjong from China, oware from Africa, and pachisi from India, reflecting gaming practices across civilizations.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 11:00 and 17:30, with reduced rates available through SBB RailAway packages.
A specialized library contains 5,000 books about games, including an extensive chess literature collection assembled by historian Ken Whyld.
