The ancient Egyptian game called Mehen is the earliest known multi-player board game.

Most ancient board games, and indeed most abstract strategy games, are for two players. The game of Mehen "the coiled snake" appears to be the oldest multi-player board game ever discovered. The game is will over 4000 years old and embodies aspects of early Egyptian religion. There are many and varied guesses about how the game was actually played in the time of the Pharaohs. We included a likely set of rules in the Peg Pastimes version of the game, but more can be found in your local library and of course on line. Speculative rules range from straight race games to more complex games of position and capture. This is part of our "Games of Ancient Egypt" set which includes four other ancient games from the area.
