Ancient History Games

Ancient Games: Ur and Senet

 Last week lecture (on 7th October 2014) we looked and learned more about the ancient games. What we played was a game called the royal games of ur and senet. I played the royal games of ur with my partner and the game was around 2600BC.

The rules was bit complex but then we figured it out. It basically was a strategy game where the player takes turns on rolling the dice, and whatever number we get, we move at the space where the card tell us how many space we can move and if we get another roll or not. It wall all based on strategy and it makes the game more fun and competitive to try outsmart your opponent.

Senet, (which was a 5 thousand years old game) i didn't get  a chance to play that game, but i heard it pretty similar to the royal games of ur just the layout and the rule were bit different.

Overall i think learning about ancient board games can be bit of fun to know more knowledge about it and learning the history of old board games.
