This game, the original name for which has been lost, was played in Coptic Egypt (313-639 CE). It was played on a unique stepped board, with four rows of holes in which pegs were presumably used as pieces.
Rules
Three-stepped board. Top step: five rows of holes; four in the outer two rows, two in the next rows in, one in the central; second step: five holes in outer rows, central three rows with four holes; lower step: ten holes in outer rows; ten holes in next two rows; central row empty. Multiple pieces cannot occupy the same space.
