Senet - Ancient Egyptian Board Game

I brought this for my husband as one of his 40th birthday gifts. He is an avid board game player and I was a little worried it might be too simple or just not fun. I needn't have worried! My husband absolutely loves it! More so than some of his more expensive gifts! It is a great game played by the instructions provided, with both luck and tatics playing a part. It takes about 10-20 minutes per game. It arrived promptly and in good condition. The board itself has a bit of a homemade feel which rather adds to its charm. Highly recommend it!

This is a lovely game, with very simple rules, but improved by clever use of strategy -- enjoyed by all the family, ages 10-50... The board is generally well made, although the bars separating the squares bend upwards slightly, and have thus detached a little from the board itself. But the outside frame holds them in place, so this is a minor cosmetic flaw, that does not impede the usability of the game. I recommend comparing it to the Royal Game of Ur, equally gripping and addictive!

Bought this as a birthday gift for my best friend. Figured the other options were unnecessarily expensive.The box art is lovely and the board game set itself is nicely made, plus very convenient drawer to put the game pieces when you’re done. The rules were probably over explained as I found a better condensed version online, but then again nobody knows the exact original rules anyway. Played this many times with him in the park, sturdy and stable. It came with two dice and five of those throwing sticks, which is helpful in case you lose one.Plus, the smell of it was so nice. Bonus for that, worth the price.

A great game, much easier than expected to get the hang of. Similar to backgammon and very unique. Delivery was fast. Quality is acceptable.

This is a great game, similar to drafts but more exciting. The board is excellently constructed and the pieces look good and are a decent size. Can recommend for people who like strategy board games.

My son purchased this as he is very much into Egyptian history, when we played Senet as a family we couldn't believe how much fun this game actually is.

Bought this as a present after watching a programme on ancient Egypt. It is for Christmas so a little difficult for me to give a definitive recommendation.

Excellent !
