The Egyptian board game you are referring to is called senet, which means game of passing. It is also known as the oldest board game in the world, first found in burials in 3500 BC.
No one knows for sure what the rules of game-play are, though some historians have tried to make guesses. It is still manufactured and sold today; the rules vary by each company.

∙ 9y agoSenet was the game played on a board marked out with 3 rows of squares. Two people can play by throwing the sticks and, depending on which way they land, can move forward or bump the other player's pieces back. The first player to get all of their pieces off the board wins.

Did ancient Egypt use boomerangs?
Almost. Australian aboriginal boomerangs are specially-shaped flat, blade-like throwing sticks used to hunt wild animals - if thrown correctly they will return to the thrower.In ancient Egypt, throwing sticks were also used. In hieroglyphs, they are called amaAt, "throw-sticks" (the a and A represent consonants not present in English, not the vowel "a"). These were simply curved natural sticks and were not designed to return to the thrower, so in that sense they were not like boomerangs.
