These board games are typical of those sold especially at the time of the Fiesta de los Muertos, usually outside the cemetery, but, on occasion, sold by vendors inside the cemetery. The games are all played with dice usually by children to amuse themselves while the family is holding vigil by the grave [Note from Kristin Norget].
