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.
For thousands of years, Senet was the ancient world's most popular game — until the rule book was lost! Mazeology has revived Senet with a new rule book, colorful game board and 10 hand-painted playing pieces. Great multicultural gift idea for kids.
Easier than chess but more complicated than checkers, Senet is simple enoug
h for a 5-year-old, yet offers compelling adult game play. It's a fun, new revival of a classic game that is speculated by archaeologists to be the origin of our modern games of cribbage and backgammon. There is strategy at the beginning, and luck comes into play at the end.
Includes ten non-phthalate, lead-tested (to European standards, which exceed US standards) hand painted playing pieces, colorful board and modern rule book.
