The game of passing: Egypt played senet for three thousand years — boards survive in burials from about 3100 BCE onward, and four were buried with Tutankhamun. Five cones race five spools along a snaking road of thirty squares, past the House of Rebirth and the House of Water, to the final square of Departure; the throw is made with four sticks or coins. No rulebook survives — the Egyptians never needed to write down what everyone knew — so the rules in this pack are the common modern reconstruction, honestly labelled and rebuilt from tomb paintings, surviving boards, and the pictured houses themselves. Inside are three pages: a full-page printable board, a history card, and the complete rules on one card. Play it free online in the Games Room, or print it at home on US Letter paper.
