Board games were a favorite pastime in ancient Egypt, and Senet was the most popular of these. It was played by two people, either on elaborate carved and inlaid boards, like the one found in Tutankhamen's tomb, or on a 'board' simply scratched into the earth.
You can now play this ancient game ether against the computer or another person. The game comes with a reconstructed set of rules and some information about the history of Senet. There is also a preview of Mark Millmore’s new book ‘Imaging Egypt’.
