Senet

A digital version of the ancient Egyptian board game Senet, this turn-based game combines strategy with chance. On a 30-square board, players move their pieces using throwsticks or knucklebones and try to get all of them off the board before their opponent. The game follows Kendall’s rules, which allow strategic combinations of moves, and can be played against AI or locally with another player.

A campaign of 12 games against AI unlocks additional boards. Custom games allow players to adjust the setup, choose a shorter match with five pieces instead of seven, and mix unlocked pieces. There are three difficulty levels; the hardest hides the interface, requiring players to rely on memory and observation. The 3D boards and pieces are modeled on objects found in ancient tombs and displayed in museums.
