Cheops: pyramid chess
An Imperial game requiring attention and concentration.
What the source says
The encyclopedia frames its Cheops entry as an excerpt from a game book supposedly published within the universe. Uncertain origins and traces from different eras make everyday culture a subject of historical research.
How to read it
A game tells more than how a society spends leisure time. It also connects courts, diplomatic meetings, and the value placed on mental skill; the testimonies cited in the entry belong to this framework of fictional historiography.
