Might be more fun than actual board game, although I bought this and the other competing one available (Deluxe, which doesn't offer a two player option) to help me learn the game, rules & strategy. Graphics are definitely five stars and the moving pieces on this game sound like heavy blocks of stone scraping across the tomb floor, which is very cool. Egyptian Tomb Music is entertaining, but can be turned off if desired. Highlighting option to show available moves is clean and helpful in learning the legal moves under various board situations. A little more detail in the rules might be helpful to those serious about learning the game strategy, but that would just be icing on the cake (or gold leaf on the mummy's shrine as the Egyptians would have expressed it). This is really a nicely done package !! UPDATE:After playing for a few days, I became aware the rules of this game version do not require the top row to first be emptied of a player's pieces for the player to score by removing any pieces off the board, nor does it feature the rule whereby three or more pieces in consecutive spaces create a total block such that an opponent cannot pass, regardless of the throw count. These are both important features in the commonly accepted game rules referenced by scholarly students of the game on-line, and make it more complex, which is helpful in giving a fairly short track race-type game a more strategic component. I'm not changing my star rating because the game is still fun and otherwise deserves it, but developer might want to consider these modifications or offer them as optional settings.

We recently learned of the existence of Senet thru another app. Researched and then found this app. First, I love this game...has to rank as one of my favorite board games now. And this app is perfect. Good visuals, good options (for turning off the music and the hints if you wish.). I do feel like the AI “cheats” a little bit as he always seems to get the toss he needs right when he needs it, particularly in the final stretch of the game... but you can’t have everything. :-). Great job on the app... thank you. Well worth the cost. I could do without the scary sounding voice greeting upon start up. The only thing I would change is to tilt the view so you looking a little more from the top down, I occasionally hit the wrong piece by accident when they are behind another.

Easy to learn but not so easy to win. You can be way ahead and things turn on a dime during the last couple of plays. The sore losers who “want their money back” should try playing as two players and see how they fare. Maybe they just aren’t as skilled as they think they are. I win about 40% of the time, and the game can swing in my favor at the last minute. So this game keeps my interest way more than most.

This game is awesome! I love Egypt and their mythology, this game does have it's weak points the worst aspect of the game is that 1)you don't get rewards or anything that may change up the game a little to make sure you don't get bored with it 2) not all the rules are the right ones from the Egyptian game "Senet", you usually don't have to wait long to take your turn and when you toss the sticks and you can't move any piece that number you have to move back that many squares and if you are in the in between world then you can bump people back to the house of birds and things like that. The problem is all you do is knock them into the house of water. Other than that this game is awesome! I played pharaoh mode (you can pick a mode) and I won! This game is almost on point.
