User reviews

Excelente, mas apela demais!

O jogo é o melhor que tem, mas o adversário (computador) quando jogamos no modo faraó, apela demais! O computador tira o 5, 4 ou 1 várias vezes seguidas e repetidamente. Poderiam equilibrar mais a partida.

Senet what a great game

If you want to learn how to play Senet, game of the pharaohs, this is the best way. This is perfectly scripted so even beginners who don’t know how to play will pick it up quickly. Massive thanks to the developers who worked on this app.

Fun and challenging

I discovered Senet playing Tomb Raider Remastered and wanted to play some more. This is great. I think the balance between offense and defense to win the race is very interesting. Nice implementation here.

Zufallsgenerator mit Macke im 2 Personen Spiel

Spiel ist klasse und würde 5 Sterne bekommen. Leider läuft der Zufallsgenerator im 2 Personen Spiel nicht gut. Der zweite Spieler bekommt aktuell nur viele Würfe mit der Zahl 2. Haben es schon ist Neustart probiert, leider immer noch 2en.

Genau wie Am Brett!

Wir haben selbst auch ein Senetbrett und haben hier sogar noch zwei Spielsteine mehr, anstelle der fünf Spielsteine.

Auch ich möchte hiermit konkret sagen: Lasst diese Regeln im Spiel mit 7 Spielsteinen. So ist es noch eine ganze Ecke spannender;-)

Vielleicht könnt ihr ja noch das königliche Spiel von Ur, sowie Hunde und Schakale hinzufügen. Ebenfalls sehr schöne Brettspiele aus der Antike! ☺️
