Sinai: The Arab-Israeli Wars is a board wargame published by Simulations Publications Inc. (SPI) in 1973 that simulates the 1956 Suez Crisis, the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War. SPI had been developing a game about a hypothetical Middle East conflict when the Yom Kippur War began, and redeveloped it from newspaper and television reports, releasing it only weeks after the ceasefire. It is a two-player game in which one player controls Israeli forces and the other Arab forces, played on a hex grid map at 12 km per hex with 225 counters, with three historical scenarios, a hypothetical conflict in the mid-1970s and several what-if scenarios. It remained one of SPI's best sellers through the 1970s.
