Introduction of Games

Senet-modern
	"Senet" is an ancient Sgyptian board game and is said as the oldest board game in the world. There is nothing actual rule, although historians have made educated guesses. Senet historians Timothy Kendall and R.C. Bell have each proposed their own sets of rules to play the game. But their rules are both bored to play as board game. So that Senet-modern, rule is arranged more strategical and board is re-designed more stylish.

Ancient Construct
	"Ancient Construct" is a 3 dimensional puzzle game. It contains 25 pieces made using 103 tile blocks and a square wooden and/or tile base (game board). One needs not only 3D imagination, but also great balance and precision. All pieces are intentionally made uneven as handcrafted by the artisan gamemaker, which makes it more difficult to balance.

King's Valley
	"King's Valley" is very simple and is very easy game to play. This is because any piece's moves are same. Any pieces can move go straight horizontal, vertical, or diagonal to the end of tiles. But you can not stop the way of tiles. The winner is the first player he can move his king piece to the central "King's Valley" tile.

YONMOQUE
	"YONMOQUE" is very simple (just get 4 pieces in a row either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) and very compact (there are only 25 squares on the board), but is very difficult to win for either blue player or white player. This is because a piece's move is defined by the color (blue, white, or neutral)of the square it is on and the number of squares for each color is not the same. There are eight blue squares, but 12 white squares, and only 5 neutral squares. To keep the balance between blue and white, the blue play er always starts first. This balance is an important point on this compact board.

Each player has four pieces: 0 (blank), 1, 2, and 3. The winner is the first player who moves all 4 pieces to opponent side. Or the player can't move on the board is looser.
