A discount bundle of 5 strategy games from the Peg Pastimes series from NewVenture Games that represent a collection of landmark
board games from the ancient Egyptian dynasties. Made in USA for 2 players ages 8+. This bundle includes:
• Aseb was originally from Babylon or Mesopotamia, and migrated to Egypt as a version of the ancient Middle Eastern "Game of 20 Squares." According to some historians the Egyptian name of this game was Tjau, which in the ancient Egyptian slang meant “got it!” or “bingo!” but others claim that this name is a mistake. Aseb is a simpler than the Royal Game of Ur.
• Hounds & Jackals is a strategy board game that came into existence during the Middle Kingdom, around the 9th Dynasty, circa 2135 – 1986 BCE. The first complete set was discovered by Howard Carter in 1910 in a Theban tomb of ancient Egyptian pharaoh Amenemhat IV that dates to the 12th Dynasty (mid-Middle Kingdom). This game was also featured in the Hollywood blockbuster, The Ten Commandments
.
• Mehen is a
strategy board game played from the pre-dynastic period to the Old Kingdom (c. 3000 – 2181 BCE). It is also called the 'snake game' because the board is shaped like a coiled snake. A Mehen board also appears in a picture in the tomb of Hesy-Ra, and its name first appears in the tomb of Rahotep.
• Senet was invented by the ancient Egyptians around 3,100 BC. It was a very popular game, played among commoners and nobles alike for many generations. Archaeologists even found the Senet board in the tomb of famous Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Ancient Egyptians were already playing Senet when mammoths were still roaming in Siberia!
• Tâb is the Egyptian name of a running-fight board game played in several Muslim (mostly Arab) countries, and a family of similar board games played in North Africa (as sîg) and Western Asia, common in ancient Iran and Turkey. It is also found in Somalia, where a variant called "deleb" is played. Tâb has been continuously played in Egypt at least since the Middle Ages until today and it's one of the few truly ancient games whose rules are definitively known to be authentic.
