Ancient Egypt game

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). In the New Kingdom, senet became associated with the underworld; the obstacles of the game corresponding to hazards met on the journey to the afterlife. Metropolitan Museum of Art
