Event Details

​​Explore the rich legacy of Arab and Middle Eastern contributions to world culture by learning, playing, and creating ancient board games. Discover how strategic games like Senet (Egypt, 3100 BCE) and The Royal Game of Ur (Mesopotamia, 2600 BCE) laid the groundwork for modern games like chess and checkers. Then paint your own Glowforge-cut versions of Senet and The Royal Game of Ur to take home.​
