Senet is a board game from predynastic and ancient Egypt. The oldest hieroglyph representing a Senet game dates to around 3100 BC. 

Tutankhamun’s tomb contained a number of gaming boards for the game of Senet. The rules of the game are not certain, but historians believe it was for two players, whose aim was to knock their opponent off the board. The number of squares moved was decided by throwing sticks (used like dice today). Clearly Tutankhamun was a keen player and this small version is a ‘travelling set’ made of painted ivory. [x]
