https://otagomuseum.nz/athome/how-to-play-senet How to play: Each player gets 5 pieces they need to get off the board to win. Each turn, you throw 4 sticks and move a piece 1-5 spaces depending on the number of white side up sticks (all black counts as 5). If you get a 3, you get another turn. Follow the path on the board until all your pieces get off the board. Pieces can jump over other pieces. If one of your pieces land on an opposing piece, you can swap places unless it's next to another piece of theirs or if it's on a special square. If you get 3 pieces in a row, the opponent can't jump over it. There are also special squares: 1. House of life (only special square on the middle row). This is a safe square, meaning that pieces on it can't be swapped 2. House of happiness (first special square on the last row) Safe square, you must land on this square before progressing further. 3. House of water (after house of happiness) Sends you back to house of life. 4. House of 3 ba-birds (after house of water) Safe square, you can roll a 3 to get off the board. 5. House of 2 men (after house of 3 ba-birds) Safe square, you can roll a 2 to get off the board. 6. House of Ra-Horakhty (after house of 2 men) Safe square, you can roll a 1 to get off the board. music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDemMRV0Kls side note: I was originally going to add a super ambitious online mode with 5 concurrent games with infinite numbers of spectators each and I think I could've done it but I've been procrastinating it for literal years so I just decided to share this without it. I might implement it if I feel like it and the cloud variables get fixed, but right now I just want to get this out of my unshared folder. I laid the groundworks for that so if you see those, that's why.
