Simple Senet

Welcome to Simple Senet

Senet is possibly the oldest board game, dating back to Ancient Egypt. Because Senet is so old, different historians have pieced together different versions of the rules. I’ve tried to simplify the rules to Senet in this implementation.

See the README.TXT file for details on how to play.
