Description: Senet - Voted Best New Game of 3,500 BC
If you like board games, you'll love Senet. This exciting game was a favorite of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt because of its unique combination of strategy and luck.
Senet was arguably the world's first board game, created in ancient Egypt in roughly 3,500 BC. In its time, Senet was exceptionally popular with everyone from commoners to pharaohs. Later in its reign of popularity, the Egyptians believed that people who were good at it were protected by the gods.
Unfortunately, since it was so popular, nobody bothered to write down the rules. Why bother when everyone knows how to play? In recent years, scholars made educated guesses and came up with a few different rule sets - we picked the best ideas from each, and made our own variation.
We modernized the game to make it appeal to today's gamer, while retaining all of the classic elements that made it so popular for over 2,000 years.
Our version of Senet includes:
* Single, two-player, and network play
* Five unlockable secrets
* Fabulous sound, music, and special effects
* Classic gameplay with modern enhancements
* Both Windows and Mac versions available
