Aeterna brings ancient board games back to life — each drawn from a different civilization, each with its own logic and rhythm.

─ MANCALA — Africa & the Middle East, Ancient Era
Hands sow stones pit by pit around the board into your own store. Three thousand years of patience have worn these pits smooth — one of the oldest games alive.

─ BAGH-CHAL ─ Nepal, 16th Century
Four tigers hunt twenty goats across a sacred board. A tense asymmetric battle of predator and prey, born in the Himalayas.

─ MŪ TŌRERE ─ New Zealand, 19th Century
A Māori star-shaped board where every move constrains the next. Deceptively elegant, surprisingly deep.

─ LATRUNCULI ─ Rome, 1st Century BC
The game of Roman soldiers — a battle of flanking and annihilation played on stone boards across the Empire.

─ SEEGA ─ Egypt, C. 1300 BC
Two armies quietly fill a 5×5 grid before the battle begins. Capture by flanking — one exposed stone is all it takes.

─ SURAKARTA — Java, C. 16th Century
Two armies trace a 6×6 board webbed with looping corners. Capture by looping — ride the curve and strike from behind.

─ PICARIA — American Southwest, c. 1700
Three pieces glide across a 13-point web of grid lines and hidden diagonals. Align three in a row to win — a Zuni Pueblo classic once played with pebbles and maize kernels.

─ HNEFATAFL — Scandinavia, Viking Age
Defenders shield a king from besieging attackers on an 11×11 board. Reach a corner to escape — surround him on all four sides to end the siege.

─ FANORONA — Madagascar, 17th Century
Two armies of stones cross a 45-point lattice, one step at a time. Capture sweeps a whole line at once, and it's compulsory — a single chain can clear a dozen stones.
