Amazing stuff! Maybe this game will become a next Christmas gift sensation! 😊 When in Rome, do as the Romans do!
"Scientists used artificial intelligence to decode the rules of a mysterious Roman-era board game found on a limestone disc in the Netherlands, revealing a strategy game where players hunt and trap opponents’ pieces."
"... To get a clearer view of how the stone was used, Luk van Goor of restoration studio Restaura in Heerlen produced extremely detailed 3D scans. “Those scans reveal a lot of details of the lines, and they show that some of these lines are a fraction of a millimetre deeper than others. Those deeper lines were used more intensively. We also see that the stone’s edges are neatly finished, which indicates a final product rather than a piece awaiting further workmanship.” ..."
