The trap game of Egypt: twelve pieces a side on a board of twenty-five squares, where nothing is ever taken by leaping — a piece falls only when two enemies close on it from opposite sides at once. Seega was first described for the outside world by Edward William Lane, who watched it played in Cairo for his 1836 account of Egyptian life, and it is still played in Egypt today; this pack follows Lane's documented rules exactly — pieces placed two at a time over six turns, straight-line moves never diagonal, captures that may continue while they last, and the crossed centre square as sanctuary. Inside are three pages: a full-page printable board, a history card, and the complete rules on one card — just add twelve counters a side. Play it free online in the Games Room, or print it at home on US Letter paper. From the School of Evershade.
