Description

Seega (‘siga’ pronounced) is a board game that was and is played mainly by Egyptians and Somalis, but variants are also known in Asia. However, opinions differ on the age of the game. It is certain that Seega was played at the end of the 18th/beginning of the 19th century. But several playing fields were also found carved into the roof stones of the temple in Kurna (Upper Egypt), which was begun in 1400 BC, including Seega. However, it is not possible to determine whether the playing fields were created during the construction of the temple or much later. The game is played on a playing field with 5x5 squares, the players receive 12 pieces each. However, variants of 7x7 and 9x9 fields with correspondingly more pieces are also known.

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 with one finger in the centre of the playing field, pull the string and the game has 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.

Kono

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 here 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.

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

cows and leopards, The leopard game

The "leopard game" has been widely played in South Asia for many centuries. At first, one suspects an imbalance in the game, as there are only two leopards but 24 cows. However, the strategic skills of both players are required to emerge victorious from the game. The game "Alquerque" can also be played on this board. That's why we include the instructions. So again 2 games in one.

Latrunculi, ludus latrunculorum

As we know from war reports, the battlefield is empty at the beginning. The soldiers on both sides stand and wait for the signal to attack. The signal is given. The two players now take it in turns to place a piece on the board. By placing your own pieces skilfully and carefully, you can also capture your opponent's pieces in this phase of the game. Once all the soldiers (pieces) are on the board, one soldier goes and each player tries to capture the other's pieces by skilfully placing them in order to emerge victorious.
The ludus latrunculorum, or latrunculi for short, is often referred to as a soldier's game, as the name is derived from latro for soldier.
Ovid( born 22 March 43 BC in Sulmo; died probably 17 AD in Tomis), a Roman poet who was also a war correspondent, frequently mentioned this game in his works, for example in ‘Art of Love III’.
It is also possible to play the large version of the game ‘Kono’ on this board. The instructions for this are of course included.

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.

Fanorona

Fanorona is one of the games of the Alquerque family, which have been played in Egypt and the Middle East for over 3000 years. This game probably originated in Madagascar in the 17th century. It is still traditionally played in Madagascar, where it is pronounced "fanurn". Conveniently, Alquerque can also be played on this board. (The instructions are of course included.) Fanorona fascinates with a striking technique that seems unusual for us Central Europeans. The aim is to capture all your opponent's pieces.

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.
