Board game
Board games have been played in most cultures and societies throughout history. A number of important historical sites, artifacts, and documents shed light on early board games such as Jiroft civilization gameboards in Iran. Senet, found in Predynastic and First Dynasty burials of Egypt, c. 3500 BC and 3100 BC respectively, is the oldest board game known to have existed. Senet was pictured in a fresco found in Merknera's tomb (3300–2700 BC). Also from predynastic Egypt is Mehen.
Brax (game)
Brax is a two-player abstract strategy board game. It was invented in 1889 (or shortly before) in America by Frederic B Denham of New York City. The board design is unique. There are several marked paths on the board where a player moves their pieces. A piece can move one or two spaces in a turn depending upon the color of the path. Players attempt to capture each other's pieces.
