Floor Games (1911) is a work of recreational nonfiction in which H. G. Wells describes and illustrates elaborate imaginative games played on the floor using toy soldiers, blocks, and household objects. Written in a conversational and playful tone, the book outlines rules, scenarios, and techniques for constructing miniature landscapes, while also emphasizing creativity and narrative invention. Though informal in style, the volume is significant as a precursor to modern tabletop and miniature war gaming, reflecting Wells’ broader interest in structured play, social systems, and imaginative world-building.
