Aseb is the Egyptian version of The Game of 20 Squares, dating back as far as 3,000 BCE. Versions of the game have been found in Egypt, Sudan, Crete, Cyprus, and even in India. Similar to the Royal Game of Ur, Aseb probably arrived in Egypt from ancient Sumer during the 17th Dynasty. Aseb is a race game, but also a running-fight game in which players gradually eliminate their opponents pieces as they conduct the race. Using stick dice and moving on a race track with a few safe spaces, the game is somewhat random, but some tactical decisions add to the fun. A player wins by either getting all their pieces off the board or eliminating the opponent from the board. Made in USA for 2 players age 12+. Average game play is 30 minutes.
