Iterating Ancient Games
Tweaking Ancient Games : Some of the oldest known games are still
played while others are all but forgotten With some of those board games excavated like the royal game of Ur are over
4,500 years old, so it was about time they got some iterating, iterating games is a really good thing and it was what many tribes and people did to games who where not so familiar with the rule base, this created very localized versions of the game, but as games have rule sets attached to them this has diminished with the exception such as monopoly in which most family's have different rules for the bank and the free parking squares, this is not bad thing and is seen more as diversity in game play. something which we did with many of the older games, messing around with the amount of game pieces and enlarging the game board are all sure fire whys of swapping up the dynamics of the game, for good or bad.
