Senet
Senet
is an ancient Egyptian board game similar to backgammon. Each player
has 5 pawns which travel around a 3 by 10 board in an S shaped path.
Movement is dictated by the throw of 4 sticks (black on one side and
white on the other) which can produce a 1,2,3,4, or 6, (5 is not
possible) depending on how they land.. As in backgammon, the objective
is to bear all of one's pawns off first. A couple of interesting
differences is that there are safe and trap spaces on the board. Also,
players may block each others' progress as in Parchisi. Senet sets are
usually constructed from various woods and are often quite beautiful.
Senet is one of the oldest boardgames but unfortunately it fell out of
use for a few thousand years and no ancient rules set has been
discovered. Undoubtably another tragic loss resulting from the Library
of Alexandria burning to the ground. As a result scholars has made
several educated guesses as to the rules.
It may be a relative of Aseb and The Royal Game of Ur.
