Description

Our games are all made of leather and designed in such a way that the game almost wraps itself. The only thing you have to do is to 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. Senet, probably the oldest known board game in the world. Even the pharaohs 5000 years ago played this game with real fervour, and even Tut Anch Amun, probably the most famous ruler, took a game table with him into the afterlife. But Amesophis III and many other pharaohs were also found playing fields in their burial sites, the pyramids. In general, however, it can be assumed that this game was popular throughout all social classes.

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.

Nyout

With the dice game Nyout, 2, 3 or even 4 players can pass the time. . Nyout is derived from the Korean game Yut. Its similarity to a Chinese fortune-telling game, which originated in the 3rd century BC, indicates that Yut is very old. However, archaeologists argue about its exact age. The game is still very popular in Korea today and is mainly played at New Year. The interesting thing here are the dice, which are throwing sticks in this game.

Backgammon

Much is still unknown about the origin, age and spread of this game. There are some oriental games that are thousands of years old and parallels to backgammon are often sought, but whether this proves a relationship is questionable. Probably the first close relative of modern backgammon is the Roman Ludus duodecim scriptorum. It was widespread throughout the Roman Empire and was first mentioned by Ovid in the 8th century BC. However, the first discovery is dated to around 125 AD. The game was then further developed by the Romans into alea or tabula, which could have been played as early as the 1st century AD. From the 11th century onwards, the game spread throughout Europe and became known in Germany in the 12th century under the name Wurfzabel or Puff. The name Puff is derived from the word Pasch. The vulgar term for the brothel goes back to the name of the game that used to be played in these houses - so you went ‘to the brothel’.

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.
