The document summarizes the ancient Egyptian board game called Senet. It originated in Ancient Egypt as early as 3500 BC and was played by both wealthy and poorer Egyptians, though wealthier people had finer game boards made of materials like ivory and gold while poorer people played in the dirt. The game is played on a board with 30 squares arranged in three rows of ten. Players use sticks to determine the number of spaces to move their five game pieces around the board, with the goal of being the first to remove all pieces from the board.
