Description |
Game entitled Game of the Sacred way (Egyptian name unknown); "This game is taken by permission from Games Ancient & Oriental by Edward Falkener - Longmans & Co., 1892". Folded board with label on front and rules (4p.) pasted to back: "The board consists of three rows of squares, the side ones of only four squares, while the middle row has twelve squares. Each player has four pieces, which are entered in the four side squares, which are supposed to be marked 1, 2, 3 and 4, beginning from below. One dice only is used on either side. This dice is of oblong form, and marked 1, 2, 3 and 4. The pieces move down the sides, and up the centre and out according to the throw. Players may play their throws, or refuse them, as they see fit. Prisoners taken by either side are entered on that side, when the player chooses, in 1, 2, 3, or 4, according as 1, 2, 3, or 4 is thrown. When one player has lost or played out all his pieces, the game is ended; and each player then reckons up his pieces out; and the victor adds thereto his pieces on the board, and his prisoners. Owing to the prisoners being re-entered, the game is always full of excitement". Board and rules only. Has Bodleian stamp on label and on rules: "Bodleian Library, Oxford. 7 May 92"; Hiera gramme of the Greeks; Ludus duodecim scriptorum of the Romans; Image 4 |
