WHY "HOUNDS & JACKALS"?

WHY "HOUNDS & JACKALS"?
Hounds and Jackals was one of the first board games ever created. The modern name was invented by Howard Carter, who found one complete gaming set in a Theban tomb of ancient Egyptian pharaoh Amenemhat IV that dates to the 13th Dynasty. Hounds & Jackals represents an ancient game found in modern times that was given a name and rules made up by modern academics; many of the Hounds & Jackals projects are built with the intent to use historical elements to allow exploration of modern issues.
It also seems in almost every bookstores that Magic, Boardgames, Card Games, and the Roleplaying Games are all grouped together.
Considering the Hounds and Jackals game involves boardgames and connections to ancient mythology, it seems a wonderful metaphor to cover the activities of this enterprise i.e. board games, role-playing games, and magic effects.
ALSO The Founder of the Hounds & Jackals enterprise is VERY fond of dogs!
