    We can’t know for certain the rules we now attribute to this game are what were originally played though. The rules were essentially made up in a way that made sense to what the board looks like and what was found with it. There is no documentation on this found anywhere in history.

      The video posted elsewhere in this thread shows a clay tablet containing an expanded ruleset from the Hellenistic period that allows the basic rules to be intuited with more confidence.
