Games on your computer...

Windows 8 and its Apps have games, but this one is about 5,000 years old and still alive & well. It's called Senet, from a British Museum site found here.
It requires the Shockwave Player from Adobe, and it is a fun game for the kids.


It begins on the top row, moving in a 'backward S' pattern to end at the lower right by whoever gets his markers off the board first. Probably the predecessor of modern cribbage.
