Egyptian board game

[nobarkus]

Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC. Ancient Egyptian game board, looks like cribbage, sort of. Some of the markers are clearly Basenji heads, the others are dogs with drop ears. 1800-1700 BC.

Very cool, although I would have no clue what so ever in how to play the game..and Otis and Moses would eat the wooden heads off in a heart beat..wood is a delicacy at our house..not furniture wood, but toys, ladles, basket handels and the like….

Maybe like poker. "I'll see your yodel and raise you a baroo".:D
