Ashlee Thomas+FollowAncient Games You’ll Actually Want to PlayDid you know some of the world’s oldest board games are still total bangers? Senet was basically the pharaohs’ version of a race to the afterlife, Go is so deep even AI can’t master it, and Backgammon’s been fueling rivalries for 5,000 years.
