A Selection of Ancient Egyptian Games.

Game pieces

Various playing pieces for ancient Egyptian games.

The game of Senet was played by two people, either on the top of a box with inlaid
squares, as shown here, or on grids scratched into a stone surface. Players threw
knuckle-bones or throw-sticks to determine their moves. Some squares represented
bad luck and others good fortune.
