BACK TO THE PHAROHS: Senet - Senet is a racing board game from ancient Egypt. This game board is based on boards similar to ones found in the tombs of Egyptian kings. The movement of the pieces represent the wanderings of the souls in the Egyptian underworld. Hieroglypics describe the wandering found in the game and replicate those found on a 3000 year old papyrus. Some researchers claim Senet to be a predecessor to Backgammon. 2 players.

BACK TO THE PHAROHS: Nine Men's Morris - Popular in Renaissance Europe, Morris boards have been found cut into Egyptian temple stone from 1400 BC. Boards were also found in Sri Lanka from 10 AD and in a Viking Ship from 900 AD. The game was very popular in 14th Century Europe and the Renaissance, entering through Spain with the Moorish invasions. In Morris games, players try to arrange their tokens three in a row on the board, at which time an opponent's piece is removed. A player wins by reducing the opponent to just two pieces. Early games of Morris were played with only 9 pieces each. Tic Tac Toe would be a simplified Morris variant. 2 players. SELECT THE ITEM HOW MANY DO YOU WANT?

BACK TO THE PHAROHS: Alquerque - A forerunner to checkers, Alquerque pieces move diagonal as well as horizontal and vertical. Alquerque has been found on rooftops dating back to Ancient Egypt.
