Ancient Egypt Games

In a lot of games that were played in ancient Egypt, people of all ages participated. There were some games that were specially designed for children and others for adults. For instance, one game called 'Ball Game' was designed for children. The rules of the game were simple and it took about 20 minutes for a child to master the rules. Adults could play a very difficult version of the game by adding some new rules and taking longer than the children did. Another game called 'Ball Game' was designed for adults. It took about 30 minutes to learn the rules and players had to compete against each other. It was a lot of fun and players would often meet in the streets for a game of this sort. If they wanted to play a more complicated game, they could play one that was like chess. A lot of these games were played on grassy areas.

We still play the same games today. There are many ancient Egyptian games that we can still play today. These games were usually played by children, and the adults would be entertained. Most of the ancient Egyptian games were meant for a child's amusement. We will discuss several of these games below.

IS Ancient Egypt Games Are Still Played

They are the results of thousands of years of evolution. Many games have come and gone, but the Egyptian games are still being played today.

Some of the games that were played in ancient Egypt have been preserved in the form of ancient art and writings. These are called the ancient games of Egypt. We can read about the ancient Egyptian games in the Egyptian hieroglyphs that are found in various parts of ancient Egypt. Many people are curious to know what those ancient Egyptian games were. For instance, we can learn about a game called the Egyptian ball game. This was played by people of all ages. The balls of the ball game were made out of dough and they had markings on them. There was one set of rules for the game. The goal was to get as close to the opponents as possible by throwing the balls into the opposing team. The players were required to hold the ball tightly by the fingers. The ball needed to bounce perfectly for the player to score. The goal of the game was to throw the balls into the opponents. The winner would be the one with the most points after a certain time period. The game could be played indoors or outdoors. There are also some questions about the game, such as the origins of the game. Some believe that the ball game started in India, Africa and Asia.

Hiding Game 

Children would hide behind the bushes and watch what the adults were doing. If a child saw someone about to step on a pile of something, he would yell out "Dah!" This was a warning to everyone. In addition, when someone was walking and stepped into the mud, he would have to walk with his backside in the air so as not to get dirty. Another game would be one in which you had to follow someone and try to guess who he was following.

In the above game, you would run and look around for signs that would point to who you were supposed to follow. This would allow you to follow that person without being seen. After this, you would try to catch up with him and ask him questions about what he was doing.

The same type of game that was played today would be the chase game. This would involve running after an object and trying to catch it.

Oudjedjom Game

This type of game that was played in Egypt was called 'Oudjedjom'. It had been played for hundreds of years, maybe even thousands. In Egypt, the Oudjedjom game was played only in Cairo. It was one of the oldest board games ever played. It was said to have started with a Persian King, Khosrau. He loved this game. Every year, he sent a large amount of money to a man called Thabit ibn Abd al-Karim. The purpose of this money was to make sure that Thabit had all the tools needed to build and play the Oudjedjom board game. The original wooden board was about 7.25 x 7.25 feet in size. On each side of this board there was a path for the king to travel. In the center, there was a central hole that was big enough for a horse to fit in. The game used pieces of wood called pegs.

Every player was given 10 of these pieces. When they were done playing, they would keep them and start again. There were two versions of this game, the first was played on a wood board. The other was played on a wooden board. The main difference between the two games was the central hole in the board.

This board game was used by Egyptians for centuries. It was also known as 'Gondi'. There were different types of games that were played using this type of board. You had to play against other players. You would try to get closer to the object that you wanted to capture. There was a person known as 'Khalef'. He would try to run away while you were trying to catch him. At some point, you would stop chasing after him and instead look for the object. Once you had found the object, you would try to catch it. This type of board game was known as 'Oudjedjom'. This would allow you to follow that person without being seen. After this, you would try to catch up with him and ask him questions about what he was doing. The same type of game that was played today would be the chase game. This would involve running after an object and trying to catch it. In Egypt, there were two different versions of the board game. There were some games that used boards made from wood and some of them used ones made from ivory. A board game that was played with a board made from wood was known as 'Oudjedjom'. One version of this game was played on a wooden board that measured 7.25 x 7.
