Description
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 western 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 in the time of Socrates. The game is still played on Crete today.

Our board games are burnt onto leather, making them durable. And the game almost packs itself for transport. The only thing you have to do is press the game down slightly with one finger in the centre of the playing field, pull the string and the game has already packed itself. It should stay that way for transport. So 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.

byzantine chess, round chess, circular chess
byzantine chess, round chess, circular chess...
As the name suggests, this round chess variant originates from Byzantium (the Byzantine Empire, also known as Eastern Rome). It was probably developed there in the 10th century. The board has the same number of squares as the regular square chess board, but these are arranged on circular paths. Not only does this have serious changes on the starting position and the moves, but also the chess rules valid at that time, which differ from today's rules in some respects.

Senet brown
Senet
Senet is known as the ‘oldest board game in the world’. Senet was the most popular and most important board game in ancient Egypt and was played by all sections of the population. In addition to the transportable game boards, Senet games were also found carved in various places in tombs and temples, demonstrating their widespread use. More than 40 senet boards have been discovered, some in very good condition, with intact game figures and with throwing sticks, ankle bones or cube-like dice that served as dice. The oldest known depiction of a senet game set is part of a wall painting in Saqqara from the tomb of the pharaoh Hesy (III Dynasty ca 2686-2613 BC). Senet is therefore one of the oldest known board games. Unfortunately, the original rules of the game have not survived. It seems that the game was so widespread and well-known that even small children could have known it. It was probably only passed down orally, so the rules of the game had to be painstakingly reconstructed by archaeologists. The playing field comprises 3x10 squares and was decorated with different symbols over the course of time. We chose the symbols of Tutankhamun, probably the most famous Pharaoh, for this board.
Even Tut Anch Amun, probably the most famous ruler, took a game table with him into the afterlife.

You will receive a game board 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.

Barbacan with game pieces
Barbacan
The name Barbacan comes from the old Spanish, which means fortress or fort. It is clear from the game that it is a siege game. According to ancient sources, it originates from the Moors. The playing field is not just an ornament, but also a carefully thought-out fortress system. The special feature of the game is that - unlike other siege games - there are no defenders. Each of the players is an attacker and endeavours to penetrate the fortress and prevent the opposing attackers from doing so at the same time. Observation, tactics and fighting skills are key in this game, which is not only characterised by its unusual visuals. A lot of strategy is also required here, as the aim is to conquer a fortress and place your own pieces so skilfully that you block your opponent(s). The number of pieces used varies depending on the number of players. The game material includes: 12 + 12 + 8 + 6 + 5 + 4 pieces.

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 two game pieces per colour as replacements. 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.

Hnefatafl--wicking chess--Tablut with game pieces
Hnefatafl, Tablut
Tablut or Hnefatafl is mentioned in numerous writings, from the Edda to the Friedthjofs and Orkney sagas. It is assumed that Hnefatafl was played as early as 400 AD.
Tablut is referred to as the game of the ‘noble Northmen’. During their campaigns of conquest in the early Middle Ages, the Vikings spread hnefatafl throughout northern Europe, where it was possibly increasingly replaced by chess, which was brought back from the Crusades, from the 11th or 12th century onwards.
We were taught at school that the Vikings were a rowdy and warlike people. The experienced sailors set off with their longships to attack other cultures. The kings defended themselves against this with their loyal followers. So it is with the Hnefatafl: the 16 Vikings set off to attack a distant land and help themselves to its treasures. Without the king's permission, of course. The king in turn becomes frightened and orders his knights to escort him, his royal highness, safely to one of his castles. Exciting fights and clashes ensue on the way there. Will the king arrive at a castle alive to win? Will the knights drive the attackers from their land and defeat them?

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 you have lost several pieces, 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.
