Why did Egyptians play board games?

Donnell Nocella: Why do we play, say, monoploly. Whatever they played must've been know throughout the civilized world since that is essentially Egypt.:)

Jonie Lauria: Senet - was played by the Egyptians. It's supposedly similar to backgammon. They've found a lot of them in tombs. It probably had some sort of religious reason behind it's play.

Hilma Pestano: because the were bored

Wally Perrien: because i said so

Ayesha Genova: I was going to say, "They were board (bored)" but it looks like I'm too late.Did they play board games?If so, it was to relax. Same reason as we do today. Maybe some board games were seen as tactical training tools....Show more

Darrin Hixenbaugh: Same reason why we play board games, it's fun, keeps us busy, and keeps the kids occupied. If it's a popular game it'd be well known too, i guess.
