Egyptian Senet

I enjoy this game as a 4d2 game. The stick throws are effectively coin tosses, and it's a different set of odds than six sided dice. I like the bot mode as well as the friend mode. Overall, it runs great and I haven't had any issues. I recommend this game especially for kids as a bit of a reach back into history. Senet has elements of Chutes and Ladders and also Sorry! so most kids will pick it right up.

이집트판 윷놀이. 세세하게 들어가면 다르긴 하지만 윷놀이의 민족인 우리에겐 꽤나 친숙한 느낌입니다. 말을 어떤 순서로 보내고, 어떻게 뭉쳐 다닐지 매우 전략적인 사고를 필요로 하지만, 그 전략들도 결국은 윷(주사위)이 제대로 나와줘야 실행 가능하기에 운이 상당히 필요합니다. 내 남은 말 하나 적의 남은 말 네게 개(2) 하나만 나오면 게임 끝인데 죽어도 나오질 않아, 떠내려가는 삽질을 반복하던 NPC에게 패배하는 이 더러운 기분. 전략보다 운빨이 더 중요한 게임이라는 느낌이 들어 추천드리진 않겠습니다.

we are so back

How could an Egyptophile like me possibly turn down the chance to play the game of the pharaohs??? :) This game is almost 5,000 years old (keep in mind we don't know the rules of the game as it was originally played, so modern rules have been created.) But still, it's a little thrill for me to play it. I wish i could play it with someone in person but this isn't exactly a common game.. I've been looking at buying the physical game but costs run from c $40-200 ... not cheap. The app has rather low quality graphics and it lacks much challenge (I've won every game but one) but I still will play it just because it puts my mind back to that time in history and it's the least expensive way I can play the game... It's SUPER CHEAP right now on Steam, buy it! :)

튜토리얼도 없고 불친절할데 개재밌어요 그냥 이집트버전 윷놀이라고 생각하시면 됩니다!! 제가 가벼운 보드게임을 좋아해서 그런지 그냥 일단 모르는 채로 플레이해보고 나서 게임 규칙 읽어보고 하니까 되게 재밌네요 윷놀이 같은 보드게임 재밌으시면 이 게임도 재밌으실 거에요 윷놀이랑은 규칙이 살짝 달라서 윷놀이랑은 다른 재미가 있어요 2인 플레이도 가능하니 집에 친구 놀러오면, 둘이서 할 수도 있을 거 같고 좋아요 세일할 때 사서 800원에 샀는데 800원에 이런 보드게임이면 혜자라고 느껴지네요

Не плохо, но против компа играть не особо желаю.

Egyptian Senet is a thoughtful and respectful digital interpretation of one of humanity’s oldest known board games, developed by Ezzat Studios and published by EngagingX. Rather than modernizing the experience with excessive mechanics or flashy reinterpretations, the game commits to presenting Senet as both a playable strategy title and a cultural artifact. From the moment a match begins, it becomes clear that the developers approached the project with an educational mindset, aiming to recreate not just the rules of the game, but the atmosphere and symbolic meaning that Senet held in ancient Egyptian society. At its core, the gameplay follows the traditional structure associated with Senet: a board of thirty squares arranged in three rows, where players race their pieces across a prescribed path. Movement is determined through the casting of sticks, echoing the historical methods believed to have been used thousands of years ago. This creates a balance between chance and strategy, as players must react to unpredictable outcomes while still making meaningful decisions about which pieces to advance and when. The result is a game that feels deceptively simple, yet capable of producing tense moments as fortunes swing back and forth over the course of a match. What makes Egyptian Senet particularly compelling is how it preserves the symbolic weight of the original game. Senet was not merely entertainment in ancient Egypt; it was often associated with spiritual beliefs, representing the journey of the soul through the afterlife. This thematic layer is subtly woven into the digital experience through visual motifs and presentation choices. Special squares on the board feel significant rather than arbitrary, reinforcing the idea that each move carries more meaning than simply progressing toward a finish line. Visually, the game adopts an aesthetic that draws heavily from Egyptian art and iconography without overwhelming the player. Stone textures, hieroglyphic-inspired patterns, and stylized game pieces create a sense of authenticity while maintaining clarity and readability. The interface is clean and functional, allowing players to focus on the flow of the match rather than navigating complex menus. Accompanying sound design is understated, using gentle musical cues and tactile audio feedback to enhance immersion without distracting from the contemplative nature of the gameplay. The pacing of Egyptian Senet is deliberately measured. Matches unfold at a calm rhythm, encouraging patience and reflection rather than rapid decision-making. This makes the game well suited for relaxed play sessions, where the enjoyment comes from the gradual unfolding of strategy and the unpredictable nature of each cast. For players accustomed to fast-paced digital board games or competitive strategy titles, this slower tempo may initially feel restrained, but it aligns perfectly with the historical roots of the experience. Beyond gameplay, the title succeeds as an educational tool. By presenting Senet in an accessible digital format, it offers players an opportunity to engage directly with a piece of ancient history that might otherwise remain confined to museums or academic texts. The act of playing reinforces an appreciation for how games have long been intertwined with culture, belief, and daily life, giving Egyptian Senet a depth that extends beyond pure mechanics. That said, the game’s commitment to authenticity also defines its limitations. Those looking for extensive customization, advanced AI behavior, or modern twists on classic board game formulas may find the experience repetitive over long periods. Egyptian Senet does not attempt to expand its ruleset or add layers of progression, instead trusting the original design to sustain interest. As a result, its appeal is strongest for players who value historical context, traditional board games, and contemplative play over constant novelty. Overall, Egyptian Senet stands as a niche but rewarding digital adaptation that honors its source material with care and restraint. It succeeds not by reinventing an ancient game, but by allowing modern players to experience it in a form that feels respectful, playable, and meaningful. For history enthusiasts, board game fans, or anyone curious about the roots of human play, it offers a uniquely grounded experience that bridges thousands of years through thoughtful design. Rating: 7/10

Unfortunately, I know a dice-roll cheat when I see one. The game is good to play against others, but unfortunately, roll-fixing is the way the algorithm actually cheats and wins most games, in one of the them I actually won a bet with a person next to me by stating the next 4 rolls of the AI. They were exactly that. in another, 4 times roll double 1 hit on house of beauty and house of water. Come on devs are you so butthurt a player wins against your game you have to fix the rolls? Pathetic. Will keep the game in the free version of SENET: HOUSEHOLDS instead of this because I am collecting ancient board games. Don't buy this there are better versions as the one I mentioned.

É um jogo interessante e de fácil interpretação, mas não vale o preço cheio!

Genuinely one of the best games to play with friends! Get a cup of tea (with vodka in it) and relax with some Senet! :D
