We're playing Dungeons & Dragons LIVE with KQED's Forum!
Looking for a fun and easy-to-learn two-player strategy game? Check out Wood Senet, the predecessor to Backgammon! This ancient game was played by Egyptian pharaohs and comes with instructions included. To move your pieces, simply throw your sticks or roll the dice and count up the flat faces. If you land on one of the special Houses (Rebirth, Happiness, Water, Truths), be sure to follow the rituals of Ancient Egypt. It's the perfect way to spend an afternoon with friends or family of all ages.
