Senet: Ancient Egyptian Game

Step into the golden tombs of the pharaohs and experience the sacred game of ancient Egypt.

Discovered in predynastic royal tombs from 3100 BC and immortalized in the magnificent tombs of King Tutankhamun (KV62) and Queen Nefertari (QV66), Senet ("the game of passing") is humanity's most revered race of tactical cunning and destiny.

Immortalized in Chapter 17 of the Book of the Dead, Senet was more than a pastime—it was a mystical journey where the player's soul navigated the perils of the Netherworld (Duat) against the gods to attain rebirth. Reconstructed using the renowned historical research of Egyptologists Dr. Timothy Kendall and Dr. Peter Piccione, this edition brings five millennia of living history to your fingertips.

📜 HOW TO PLAY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. THE RACE: 10 pieces (5 Spools vs 5 Cones) alternate along the first row of a 30-square S-shaped path.
2. CAST THE STICKS: Throw 4 two-sided sticks. Count light faces (1 to 4) or 5 for all dark. Rolls of 1, 4, or 5 award bonus throws!
3. ATTACK: Land directly on an unprotected enemy piece to swap positions and send them backward!
4. DEFENSE: Adjacent friendly pieces protect each other. Three adjacent pieces form an impassable blockade.
5. THE WATER TRAP: Avoid landing in the House of Water (Square 27)—falling in washes your piece back to the House of Rebirth (Square 15)!
6. ETERNAL LIFE: Pass through the Houses of Truth and Horus to bear off all 5 pieces and claim victory!
