Wanna play a game?

Hey Mom- do you? Right here, while you are making lunch? Yeah- right now!

Okay my son, go get it set up and I'll play with you.

This is a common conversation in our house when our schoolwork is finished for the day. In those early afternoon hours before any of the neighborhood children come crashing knocking and before the TV is allowed to be turned on.  It's game time!

This is called Skippity.

Week 17 - Senet Game

 Games make getting back to work after the holidays much more palatable.

Ev could have played this over and over as with most board games.

Senet is an ancient game the Egyptians played using throwing sticks, a board and tokens. The original rules have been lost but experts have made guesses as to how it was played ( I personally think they just applied the rules of modern-day SORRY and guessed at the meaning of the hieroglyph spaces). We made two versions so everyone could play at the same time.

 Oh yeah- AND he won, of course.
