Senet, seen here in a painting from the tomb of Nefretari, could be the oldest board game in the world, dating back to about 3000 B.C.E. Moving your peg - often in the form of a jackal head, across the board faster than the other player was the object of the game, determined by the chance of a toss of a throwstick or die. Success in the game was linked to successful transition into the afterlife.
