About

Play what humanity played

AncientGameForge recreates the board games people have played across five thousand years. Senet from the tombs of Egypt. Hnefatafl from the Norse world. The Royal Game of Ur, whose rules sat unread on a clay tablet until a British Museum curator decoded them. We make these games again so you can play them.

Every game is produced through 3D printing and finished to a museum-quality standard. The games themselves belong to everyone: they are public domain, thousands of years old. Our work is to research each one, build an accurate and durable set, and ship it with the history of how and why it was played.

Each game comes in three editions: a pocket Traveler, a family-sized Standard, and a magnetic Heirloom set built to last. Made in the USA.
