Very disappointing.
The game is beautiful and I had high hopes. But as another reviewer observed (and I realized too late), the number generator is incorrect for the game. It does, indeed, appear to generate random numbers 1-5 with equal probability. This ruins the strategy of the game, which relies heavily on the unequal probability of throwing a particular number. They need to fix this in the next update. If it were fixed, it would be a 5-star game. As it is, it's not senet, but a senet-wannabe and not worth the $7.99. Very disappointed.

FIX PLEASE!
After the update it keeps crashing at the title screen. Hope it gets fixed soon it's a great game.
2 player please
I want to play this with my wife. We need a 2 player update ASAP.
Good game
Ever since I was young I have been facsinated with Egypt. I'm so glad I've gotten to play this game. One improvement could be making it a two player game as well. That's all of the updates I can think of right now. But dtill great game.
Really Addictive Game
I love backgammon, and I love this game... I long time ago I heard of this game, whilst looking up the origins of backgammon and wondered what it was all about, and then came Senet Deluxe
This is so addictive and the dynamics constantly change, like backgammon it's a race, and just when you think your home and dry, you can get sent back to the house of rebirth (Ankh symbol) or land on the house of "water", and you have some catching up to do! Throw a 1, 4, or 5, and you throw again...The graphics are excellent. If you love backgammon try this, You will likely have to read the instructions a couple of times but you pick it up quite quickly soon after, but activating the "Valid Moves" button helps with the learning of the game. I would have liked the background music to be more ancient Egyptian style or atmospheric if you get my drift.(5 stars when this happens)
Now I'm off to play another game of Senet....

Good Game
Senet Deluxe is a great game based on an ancient Egyptian game named Senet from thousands of years ago. The game is a 'race' board game and fans of Backgammon or Cribbage will enjoy it. This was one of my favorite games on the Palm and I was glad to have an iPhone implementation.
All of the bugs that I noticed have been fixed in the latest release. With the new price drop, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys strategy board games!
