Games and toys are very important educational tools played by people of all ages, reflecting philosophical, mathematical and technological knowledge and values of a particular nation and these values can have a deep impact on a culture and development of the country.  The future development of a nation could be assessed by its children and the future of the children can be assessed by toys they play. This simple example reminds people that games and toys are the main tools to develop you and your country.
