Beschreibung
The Ancient Egyptian game known to us as "Hounds & Jackals" or "58 holes" appeared fairly late in Egyptian history, during the New Kingdom. Neither name nor game rules have come down to us, so how the game was played is up for debate an reconstructions. One assumption is that it has similarities to Snakes & Ladders.

In a reconstructed set of rules, each player races his team of pieces (hound- and jackal-headed sticks, respectively) on his side of the race track, which includes a couple of ladder/snake shortcuts. Since each player races on a separate track, there is apparently no direct player interaction.
