Took a few minutes this afternoon to cut some small squares out of some of our scrap wood to put together an impromptu Seega game board. Seega is a game we've only recently become acquainted with, which was played in ancient North Africa and the Middle East. We used some colored glass gems we have on hand for temporary game pieces. Game set-up reminds me a bit of 9 Mens Morris, in that each player basically gets to choose where they place their pieces (just not the center square), so game play each time will be a bit different. Game play is very similar to Tafl games however--you capture an opponent's piece by sandwiching it between two of your own pieces (also known as 'custodial capture'). We played a game tonight and loved it--much more complex gameplay is possible than we intially expected. This is definitely a game we'll make more of down the line.
