Roman slaves played the same games as their master played. However this depended upon their status. A city or domestic slave who was more than likely raised along with the master's children would play the same games as the freeborns, such as knucklebones, or the various Board Games. They would also join in the physical training of their masters. Slaves were not allowed to gambol except at the festival of Saturnalia. The rural slaves though, had a different situation as they were usually far from any urban amusements although during free time, they too had their diversions.
