One of the World’s Oldest Board Games is Even Older Than We Thought
A board game dubbed “Hounds and Jackals” or “58 Holes” is believed to be the oldest in the world, with ancient versions found in multiple regions. A relatively new discovery of game boards in modern-day Azerbaijan could be the oldest examples ever found, upending the previous theory of the game’s origins.
Researchers worked out where a historically significant board game may have originated from thanks to ancient rock carvings.
