Mini-Lecture: Mining, Iron and Steel in Board Games by Jim Polczynski
Saturday, February 22, 2026
1:30pm
Learn more about antique, vintage, and modern board games, including a few not yet published, that focus on mining and iron and steel production. Jim will place these games within the broader context of industrially themed board games, examining how play reflects work, technology, and society. Selected games discussed in the program will be on display for closer look.
This FREE 30-minute bite-sized lecture will be held at the Cornwall Iron Furnace Visitor Center. Step out of the cold and join us for a fun (and warm) afternoon, and while you're here, consider adding a guided furnace tour to enhance your visit!
This mini-lecture will be in person only.
