Attention has been paid to this social activity, primarily concerning the period of European prehistory. This article is based on a hypothetical interpretation of rondels as an enclosed area for playing games. The introductory theoretical passage refers to the importance of the phenomenon of games in terms of their social function. The factual basis of the text comprises a formal and metric comparison of rondels of several archaeological cultures in the studied period. The interpretational framework is supplemented by ethnohistorical information, from Mesoamerica, on the significance of an institutionalised ball game for the functioning of the stratified society there.
