Mehen is the only multi-player ancient Egyptian board game known, the others (Senet, Aseb, Hounds & Jackals, etc.) being all two-player games.
Mehen or the Game of the Snake was a game played by the ancient Egyptians until around 1000BC. In the 1920s, anthropologists, explorers and adventurers found a curious spiral-tracked game being played by the Baggara Arabs of the Sudan, “The Hyena Game”. In all essential details the "Hyena Game" seems to have been identical to the Ancient Egyptian game of Mehen.
