Hounds and Jackals Hounds and Jackals is the modern name given to an Ancient Egyptian game, that is known from several examples of gaming boards and gaming pieces found in excavations. The modern name was invented by Howard Carter, who found one complete gaming set in a Theban tomb that dates to the 13th Dynasty. The latter game set is one of the best preserved examples and is today in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. He called it "Hounds contra Jackals". Another modern name for this game, but not so often used is fifty-eight holes.
