Ancient boardgames

[MegaHiro91]

I know the title is vague since many boardgames are thousands of years old, and that's the intension with the thread. Do you guys play any games that are ancient in origin? Personally I have taken an interest in the ancient Egyptian game called Senet which is said to date back about 5000 years and "possibly" be the first, though experts still can't agree on that. So ancient in fact that while there are general agreed upon rules, these rules vary a bit depending on who you ask, as we really have no idea how the original game was played, which is why modern rules are something we have pieced together by documents here and there.
