Frequently Asked Questions

Are the game boards made of genuine leather?

Yes, 100%. All our game boards are handcrafted from high-grade genuine leather sourced and conditioned in South Africa. You can choose from four distinctive leather colours: Off White, Grey, Avocado Green, and Blue.

How are the boards designed for portability?

Each board features perimeter eyelets threaded with your choice of drawstring cord (Black, Red, or White). This allows the entire board to roll up into its own protective pouch, holding all tokens and dice securely inside for travel, camping, or coffee-table display.

How accurate are the historical rules?

We categorise every game under three levels of historical confidence: Historically Established (such as Checkers, Backgammon, and Go), Historically Reconstructed (such as The Royal Game of Ur from Babylonian cuneiform tablets), and Historically Inspired (such as Senet). See our Historical Accuracy Guide for full scholarly details.

Why do Senet and Ur include 4 binary wooden dice?

While ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian players threw split sticks, knuckle-bones, or tetrahedral lots, our wooden binary dice (with 3 white and 3 black sides) preserve the exact binomial mathematics of ancient movement while providing durable, beautiful wooden dice for modern tables.
