New Kingdom - reign of Thutmose IV–Amenhotep III - ca. 1550–1295 B.C. - This wooden game box has two playing surfaces and throw sticks that were used as counters for determining moves in the game. The top surface is laid out with twenty squares. The bottom has thirty squares for the game "senet" (passing).

Thank you to Guy Jaouen for sharing this article.
In 1888 during the celebration of the Princess Day in Amsterdam (Netherlands) a traditional wrestling tournament was held. This championship tournament was part of the folk sports competitions. The champion wrestler received a gold watch. The historical name of that style of wrestling was Lyfvat. The rules of Lyfvat were very simple: the wrestlers try to throw their opponent onto his back from standing position. Only taking holds from hips to shoulders (including arms) are allowed. Tripping feet is prohibited.
