\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You are amateur archeologists and you unearth an artifact that looks like an ancient game.
\nCan you find more information about it from legitimate sources<\/strong> and figure out how to play?<\/p>\n

Working with a partner, compile a brief presentation \/ show-and-tell of your findings during class time (google slides or similar).
\nHow to play?
\nWhy was it played?
\nWhere was it played?
\nAre there related games?
\nTry to make a “paper” prototype and play a few rounds.<\/p>\n

This is an exercise about the history of games and game design, but also about academic research and teamwork.<\/em><\/p>\n
