    Artefact: Senet Game (modern version)


    Artefact notes:
    History
    Senet is a game that has been played in Egypt for over 5,000
    years. Tutankhamun’s tomb contained a couple of senet game
    sets. Archaeologists even found a senet game drawn on an ancient
    Egyptian student’s work tablet. Evidence from modern players,
    ancient art and writing gives us some idea of how senet was played
    by ancient Egyptians.
    Aims of the game
    The word senet means ‘to pass’ in ancient Egyptian. The strategy
    is to pass your opponent and get all your game pieces off the
    board first. Instead of dice, you throw sticks and make your move
    depending on how they fall. Some squares give you an advantage so
    you want to land on them. Some you can try to make your opponent
    land on as they slow them down.
    Meaning
    Egyptians first played Senet just as a game. After almost 2,000
    years of playing Senet, ancient Egyptians gave it a special meaning.
    The game began to symbolise the journey to the Afterlife. Victory in the game could be equal to a successful judgement before Osiris.
    Senet games became a common part of a good burial. Senet became so important, it was part of the Book of the Dead and people playing
    it were pictured in many tombs.
