Playable as a game, but more importantly, IMO, a great historical reference document for understanding how some of the earliest versions of the game worked.
An excellent choice. Originally, I was going to yank out the Ancient Aegypt setting for an area within of my D&D campaign (Hey, you had me at Ancient Aliens!), but I now intend to run this as my "portable RPG" on vacation with the family. -DM Curt
