Archaeologists have found what seem to be the oldest game
board tokens that are thought to be at least 5000 years old.
The tokens are fashioned out of stone and are painted in
red, green, and blue. The game tokens represent pigs, dogs, and pyramids while
others are shaped in what might be considered more generic shapes such as
cylinders, dice, and flat, round discs.
What the game board may have looked like and how the game
proceeded is any ones guess. No rules for this game have been discovered.
Do any of my readers have any ideas on how a game using
these tokens could proceed? How would the game board be designed? How many
players would be involved?
