Everybody loves to play board games sometimes, but it is surprising to know how long this pastime has
been in existence. Some of the earliest board games are over five thousand years old. The oldest is
probably Senet, an Ancient Egyptian game which has been found in burials from before 3000BC. The
game involves an element of luck, and so it was thought by the Ancient Egyptians that those who won the
game were protected by the Gods. For this reason, games of Senet were often buried alongside the body in
the grave, to be used on the dangerous journey to the afterlife. The game can also be seen on a number of
paintings in tombs. The game board is set out as a grid of three by ten rows, and uses two sets of at least
five pawns. The actual rules are unknown, although some historians have proposed rules which are used in
the Senet sets available today.
The Royal Game of Ur, also known as the Game of Twenty Squares, is another ancient game which dates
back to the First Dynasty of Ur, in 2600 BC Mesopotamia. It was played with two sets of seven markers,
one black and one white, and three four-sided dice. Although the ancient rules are unknown, a stone tablet
has been found which depicts a reliable record of how the game was played in 177-176 BC.
Both Senet and The Royal Game of Ur are probably predecessors to the game
backgammon, which itself has a long history. The game of Nard, which existed in Iran in around 3000BC,
used two sets of fifteen counters, four dice and same board as the one used in backgammon today,
although the initial starting positions and rules are different. Similar games were played in Ancient Rome
and India.
