Pah-Tum

The game of PAH-TUM is played on a board of 7x7 squares. Like it's
distant relatives Renju, Pente, Gomoku, Naughts and Crosses, and
Tic-Tac-Toe, players alternate in an attempt to form collections of
markers which score points. PAH-TUM gameboards have been discovered
in Mesopotamia and Assyria and a board fashioned in ivory was
discovered in the tomb of Reny-Seneb, XII dynasty, and dated at roughly
1800 BC.
