Description

Kono is a Korean game for two players in which, just like Halma, the players must try to move their own pieces to the opposite side of the board. The aim is not to capture your opponent's pieces, but simply to move them in such a way that you reach your goal faster and block your opponent's moves as much as possible.
The instructions for the board game ‘Seega’ are included with this game. So you have two in one.

Our board games are burnt onto leather, making them durable. And the game almost packs itself for transport. All you have to do is press the game down slightly in the centre of the playing field with one finger, pull the string and the game will pack itself away. It should stay that way for transport. All you have to do now is push the bead up to the bag that has just formed and the game is packed ready for travelling. The games can be used in this way on hikes, on bike tours, in the car or even on long flights. The games are packed so small that the pocket of a jacket is sufficient to take this pleasant form of entertainment with you.

Seega

Seega ("siga" pronounced) is a board game for two people with a light strategy, which was and is played primarily by Egyptians and Somalis. At the temple in Kurna (Upper Egypt), which was begun in 1400 B.C., several playing fields were found carved into the roof stones, including Seega. The game "Kono" can also be played on this playing field. The instructions for the game are included.

You will receive a playing field in the colour of your choice and the corresponding tiles in the desired colours. In addition, we will add one tile per colour as a replacement. If several pieces have been lost, please let us know and we will send you the required pieces. These are free of charge, you only have to pay the postage and shipping costs.

Alquerque

It can be assumed that the origins of the game can be found in Egypt. An alquerque playing field was discovered there on a roof slab of the Temple of Sethos I in Kurna. The stone slab was dated to 1400 BC, although it is not known whether and how the game was played at that time. A game called Quirkat was mentioned in the Arabic script Kitab-el Aghani around 950 BC, but again no rules were given. It was probably brought to Spain and Portugal by the Moors, who were Islamised by the Arabs, around the year 711. It stands to reason that "El-Qirkat" became "Alquerque" there over the course of time. Finally, in the 13th century, the rules of the game were written down in a book, the "Libros de los Juegos" - the book of games. King Alfonso X had this work written and it is proven to have been played in ancient Egypt and is the predecessor of our modern-day draughts game. The aim is to capture all of your opponent's checkers by jumping over them, which even children as young as 5-6 years old understand well.

You receive a playing field in the colour of your choice and the corresponding pieces in the desired colours. In addition, we add one piece of each colour as a replacement. If several pieces have been lost, please let us know and we will send you the required pieces. These are free of charge, you only have to pay the postage and shipping costs.

Queah

Queah is a simple strategy game for two players from Liberia. It is specific to a single indigenous tribe, the Queah tribe. A proper name for the game has not been handed down, which is why we simply call it by the tribe's name. As you can only move or jump diagonally in this game, it is not easy to knock your pieces away from your opponent. This is made even more difficult by the number of pieces each player has.

You will receive a playing field in the colour of your choice and the corresponding tiles in the desired colours, plus one tile per colour as a replacement. If you have lost several tiles, please let us know and we will send you the desired tiles. These are free of charge, you only have to pay the postage and shipping costs.

Three Men´s Morris

This smallest version of the well-known mill game was already known thousands of years ago, as numerous finds prove. For example, a round mill playing field was discovered on the roof of the temple of Kurna (built around 1400 BC). However, the playing field may also have been carved into the roof stone at a later date. The game seems to have been very popular among all social classes, especially among the Romans.

You will receive a playing field in the colour of your choice and the corresponding game pieces in the desired colours. In addition, we will add one game piece per colour as a replacement. If several tiles have been lost, please let us know and we will send you the desired tiles. These are free of charge, you only have to pay the postage and shipping costs.

Pentalpha

This beautiful, entertaining pentalpha game for one person actually belongs in the category of patience games. Some sources assume that the origins of the game can be found in ancient Egypt. A pentagram was discovered on the roof of the temple of Sethos I in West Thebes Kurna, along with several other playing fields. However, it is not known how it was played at the time (around 1400 BC). The game became popular at the time of Socrates. The game is still played on Crete today.

You will receive a playing field in the colour of your choice and the corresponding game pieces in the desired colours. In addition, we will add one game piece of each colour as a replacement.
