Free Worldwide Shipping Presented by Silver Key Society One of the world's oldest known board games, senet has existed as early as 3200 BC. Two players take on the role of deceased souls, navigating through the journey of the afterlife while zigzagging across the Senet board and contesting an invisible opponent: Osiris, god of the afterlife.  Product Details • CHESSBOARD: 290*124*30 mm (11.41*4.88*1.18 inch) Crafted from premium imported paper, featuring leather-like embossing, elegant plain debossing, and exquisite hot stamping. Adorned with metallic corners for added durability. • LION CHESS PIECE: 7 Pieces, 20*20*32 mm (0.79*0.79*1.26 inch) Cast in solid alloy with intricate three-dimensional carving. • JACKAL CHESS PIECE:7 Pieces, 20*20*38 mm (0.79*0.79*1.50 inch) Made from solid alloy and finished with detailed three-dimensional carving. • THROWING STICK: 4 Sticks, 60*6*3 mm (2.36*0.24*0.12 inch) A solid alloy throwing stick with precise three-dimensional carving. • GUIDEBOOK: 114*138mm (4.49*5.43 inch) General Procedure The senet board consists of 30 squares arranged in a 3*10 grid. The last five squares are associated with deities who will invoke protection or hazard upon the soul. Either player has a set of pieces, which they move across the board based on the throw of casting sticks (symbolic of divine will). The main goal is to be the first to bear all their pieces off the board.  EQUIPMENT, SETUP, RULES & PROCEDURE Religious Significance Senet boards have been found in ancient Egyptian burial sites, including the tomb of Tutankhamun. The evolution of senet from a secular pastime to a representation of cosmic beliefs underscores the ancient Egyptians' tendency to infuse everyday activities with deeper spiritual meanings and their intricate beliefs about death, the afterlife, and the interplay between the mortal realm and the divine.
