March 25[edit]

Game from Sleuth[edit]

In the main ground-floor room where much of the action takes place, there's a game or puzzle set out on a table. It's a large board, divided into 3 x 10 = 30 squares and populated with two colours of differently-shaped pieces. Wyke says it's an "intensely complicated 4th Dynasty blocking game called Surmount" At least, I think that's what he says, but searching game surmount and puzzle surmount give nothing helpful. Searching is proving difficult as there are games called Sleuth, which naturally overwhelms the results. Searching for sleuth puzzle brings up the pure white jigsaw puzzle that is also prominently displayed in the film. Does anyone know what the game is? Here's a screen grab I made: link, but it's not very clear. Matt Deres (talk) 01:18, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
