Games That Have Travelled Through Time

At The Heritage Game Company, we believe that a board game can be more than something to play. It can be a connection to another time, another culture and another generation.

Our Heritage Game Collection brings together games that have been played across centuries — from the ancient worlds of Egypt and Mesopotamia to the medieval playing boards of Europe and the enduring strategic tradition of Asia.

Artisanal Leathercraft & Tactile Materials

In an age of disposable cardboard and plastic components, we manufacture board games that are tactile, durable, and crafted to last generations. Every board in our collection is handcrafted in South Africa from genuine leather, finished with perimeter eyelets and a durable drawstring cord to cinch neatly into a travel pouch for storage and transport.

Drawstring Cords: Available in Black, Red, or White.
Playing Pieces: Available in Glass, Frosted Glass, or Wood.

Our Modern Binary Wooden Dice

For games such as Senet and The Royal Game of Ur, ancient players used split throwing sticks or knuckle-bones that produced binary outcomes. For our editions, we designed four custom wooden dice, each featuring three white faces and three black faces.

This preserves the exact mathematical probability distribution of ancient chance (0 to 4 spaces) while providing durable, satisfying wooden game pieces that will not wear down or chip over decades of play.
