What is the most traditional game?

/v/ pleas leave

Prostitution?

Chess you faggots

hitting people with rocks

I'd bet money cavemen had some form of this.

Probably the shell game, or dice or something...
Cheating probably older than that.

I heard Go was super old, but I don't have a citation or anything.

tic tac toe

Survival? It's the oldest one I've played.

Tag.

It's what animals have been doing since life begain. The game just ommits the murder

Your mom

Man

>Chess is the oldest game
Chess isn't even the oldest chess

Probably this.

Love is the most traditional game, user.

Nowadays we have a more advanced edition.

Mancala or Go, probably Go. It's 5500+ years old

The answer is go

As binary as it gets

2 people
1 board
2 sets of different colored tokens

Sport fucking

Probably catch.

...

betting over dice results

Sex

You know you're not very far off the mark, actually.

storytelling isn't really roleplaying. But yeah, I guess storytelling is as old as language itself

> roleplaying on its own is not technically a game anyways.
seeing who can tell the best stories is though.

I bet the very oldest Traditional Game is something like Whose Line is it Anyway, where the tribe's best storytellers are given a topic and have to come up with a story on the spot.

Like, the old wise man calls out 'something involving the spider god', and one storyteller tells the tale of the time the spider god wove a web to catch the sun and hence give fire to man, and the other storyteller tells the tale of the time the spider god tricked the tribe's greatest hero into giving up his famous sword.

Not dissimilar to what's going on in this thread, actually
