## What is Senet (AG)?

If you play more than one of my Ancient Games, I suggest you delete the individual apps and install the main one (Ancient Games). It will allow you to play them all and save disk storage.

The past is full of fascinating board games that haves been mostly forgotten. The Ancient Games collection aims to resurrect them as a meticulously crafted mix between what a player wants from an historical game and what he/she expects of a modern application.

-Play against the IA, friends and random players from around the world.
-Play Online & Offline.
-Multiple collectibles : boards, game pieces, dice, nameplates, etc.
-Challenges (Fun rule variants)
-Free cloudsave across the collection : your progress in one game is available in all the others.
-Much more features to come!
-Languages : English, French, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Spanish, German, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Russian.

Currently, the collection is comprised of four games : the Royal Game of Ur, Senet, XII Scripta and Puluc, but 40 games are in the works! 
Each game will be added to the Ancient Games app and will have its own individual app as well.

The privacy policy has been updated in accordance to the latest data protection laws.

### 2/5 — Not so Much

*2026-05-25, version 3.2.34*

You’re playing against the computer, or AI, and the computer always wins, and it always gets the best roll of the dice. I love Senet and plait first on the Nancy Drew game. It’s a lot of fun, but not so much this particular app.

### 3/5 — Rigged but still entertaining.

*2025-12-05, version 3.2.34*

Love the game. Great way to spend a few minutes. I learned about this game through Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. I’ve been hooked ever since.

There’s a few comments about the game being rigged, and the developer responding that it isn’t. It absolutely is. Doesn’t mean it isn’t still a fun game, but still. It’s absolutely rigged.

### 5/5 — Very well made app and the developer is actively in responding to app problems.

*2025-10-04, version 3.2.34*

Originally I had left a poor review due to lack of offline PvP for the app but the developer recognized this as an issue and has made leaps and bounds lately on the UI and PvP aspect—fixing it’s original problems. 

Personally those two things were really my only problem—now it’s perfect!

### 5/5 — Fun game but can’t buy no ads

*2025-04-12, version 3.2.34*

In app purchases seem broken. Would love to buy!

### 2/5 — May be a killer app, but no offline, one-device multiplayer?

*2025-01-21*

Just saying… this kinda kills a whole ability to connect between people using the game as an effective medium. If I… can’t say “hey wanna play some Senet” and pull it out of my pocket, I dunno… maybe in a place I don’t get service cause I’m an American and I have like 30 ancient offline games I like to use depending on who I meet—than it has no place. 

It has no place for Soooo many people these days so why can’t you have something like your AMAZING app as it is and some how add another player on the device. It’s just basic…🙄😒

**Developer response:** Very late reply, I am sorry! You can play against someone else on your device by using the Hotseat mode. I know the user interface is chaotic and after taking a year off for health issues, I am back working on these games and a major update is coming towards december.

### 5/5 — Timeless gem!

*2025-01-07, version 3.2.34*

I remember seeing one of these boards in a museum when I was a kid.  Now I finally get to play this game and I’m really enjoying it.

EDIT:
Is there a “restore” button anywhere? I’ve just come back to Senet after some time away and I’m sure I earned a few upgrades

### 1/5 — Game is rigged and has bugs

*2024-11-03, version 3.2.34*

Worked at first. After several games, the game make it so you cannot move legal moves skips over your pieces and makes it for the opponent to win.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2024-02-03, version 3.2.34*

It’s a old game but it’s also really good 5/5

### 5/5 — Perfect App

*2023-06-17, version 2.3.7*

I learned about this game on Lost and downloaded this app to learn to rules before I invested in an actual board. I’ve never played backgammon, so I was clueless. For such a simple concept, the strategy of the game is great fun. I recommend this app to anyone curious about Senet or “That game on Lost”.

### 1/5 — Functionality Removed and Bugs with Ads

*2022-11-22, version 2.3.7*

A lot of the game’s functionality has been removed and the ads also cause the game to essentially freeze forcing a restart of the app. I just played a game and after the game an ad automatically appeared. After the ad ran, the screen was stuck on the ad with no way to X out of the ad.

This was a fun app but it seems like it’s now time to download a different version of Senet app.
