About Senet

Senet is a board game from ancient Egypt, brought to your browser so you can play it free with no download. The idea is simple: move your pieces along the board and be the first player to get all of them off it. It's a calm, strategic game rooted in one of the oldest known board games in history.

How to play Senet

To play Senet, you move your pieces across the board, aiming to move all of them off before your opponent does. Each turn gives you the chance to advance a piece, and you'll need to decide which piece to move to stay ahead in the race. The game continues until one side has successfully moved every piece off the board, making that player the winner.

Tips for playing Senet

• Think ahead about which piece to move each turn, since spreading your moves across pieces can keep more options open later.
• Keep track of how close each of your pieces is to leaving the board, and prioritize the ones nearest the end.
• Watch your opponent's pieces as well as your own so you can plan your moves around their position.
