This book is concerned largely with games and their conceptual importance in our culture. A major part is devoted to a specific game that deserves to be included in the experience of every educated man. The word "Ki" in the title is an early phonetic form of the Chinese logograph that in suitable combinations refers to games such as chess and go. See image of table of contents for details of the contents of this book.
