Not so Much
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.
Rigged but still entertaining.
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.

Very well made app and the developer is actively in responding to app problems.
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!

Fun game but can’t buy no ads
In app purchases seem broken. Would love to buy!
May be a killer app, but no offline, one-device multiplayer?
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…🙄😒

Response from developer
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.
Timeless gem!
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

Game is rigged and has bugs
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.
Good game
It’s a old game but it’s also really good 5/5
Perfect App
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”.

Functionality Removed and Bugs with Ads
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.

Ads in paid game
I happily paid for the game. I happily played the game for a few weeks, then it started showing ads. I realise developers have to eat, but introducing ads into a paid game is bad form.
Updated rating
(UPDATED rating to 5 stars :) bcus the “random player” dice roll is somehow no longer giving insanely unfair rolls to my opponent such as 55544113! Etc these unfair rolls lasted every day all day ever since I downloaded this app like over a week ago)To the dev.. please play Senet against “random player” and see what happens… do the same for UR too before saying it’s random. I’ve played the game many times in real life and these stick rolls aren’t realistic at all. Getting 4 4’s and 2 5’s in a row multiple times in the game is not fair especially when I just get 2’s 3’s, and the occasional two 1’s in a row which is always followed by a 2 after lol. Senet and the game of UR are really fun & I love the different board choices! I do wish it wouldn’t take as long to reach a new level though making it extremely hard to get new boards since you hardly get any XP after each game. CON #1: the “random player” games where you’re supposedly playing against another human is rigged for both Senet & Ur. I have played this app enough times to even be able predict what the “other players” next moves are on both “random player” and while playing the bot. It would be nice if the dev switched up the playing pattern of the bot so that each game isn’t so predictable. When playing Senet w/ a “random player”, I have seen them roll Three 5’s, one 4, and three 1’s all on the same turn! This is not random! It happens multiple times throughout the game. If I have their pawn blocked by 4 of my, best believe they’ll “coincidentally” roll a 5 on the first try once they need to move that piece..then to make it worse they roll multiple 4’s after then finally their turn is over. The “random player” constantly wins even if I only have 1 pawn on the board and they have 5. I never win against random player even though I’m able to predict their next moves spot on! “Random player” always plays the same and the bot plays the same but both different from one another. I win on the bot game (the bot that we choose to play against) often enough but the dice on the bot games are fixed too with highly highly unlikely roll sequences. Mind you, as they’re rolling multiple 5’s 4’s and 1’s, I only roll 2’s and sometimes 1’s. There’s plenty games I don’t roll a 5 but there’s never a game that the other player doesn’t rolls a 5. I’ve even set the dice to “normalize” but still the same. CON #2: It was obvious before I even downloaded the game though that we wouldn’t actually be playing against real people because there’s obviously not very many people that play this particular app & # of downloads especially compared to active users (small dev). There’s no way that enough people will be playing at once on an all this small to the point where we can get matched with them… especially getting matched at any point of the day. I literally play this game all throughout the day since I’m quarantining lol. CON #3: the game play of the bot/random player is always the same. Literally I predict which pieces they’re gonna move next. The only random dice roll for Senet is on another Senet app that I downloaded. Only thing I don’t like about their app is that it’s too easy because their bot doesn’t make the smartest choices even on the “hard” level. The gameplay is always random/unpredictable though and the dice rolls are always random but also somewhat balanced. If the bot on that app rolls multiple 4’s in a row, it doesn’t bother me bcus that app actually gives me multiples in a row the same game as well. This app on the other hand has fixed dice whether you select random or normal or not. Random ain’t random and normal ain’t normal. These “other players” are not people simply because there aren’t enough ppl playing the app for the dev to be able to match make. They are making the same exact moves every time no matter the person. Idk what the point is though bcus it’s not like we’re gambling where the house always win. all in all, I love your game!! And I love the board choices! I thought it was really cool and unique that you made it so it’s like we’re playing against King Tut etc but Please please please undo the fixed dice coding and make it so we gain more XP after games to advance levels faster so new boards are actually obtainable. I can’t get the campaign boards because I can’t beat “random player” despite being able to predict it’s moves! Even if I have 1 piece left it ALWAYS beats me when it has multiple pieces left which happens in real games too but not every single last time smh. I don’t care about losing as long as it’s fair. Waiting around for my turn while the bot/other player has such long turns as it’s rolling 555443 is annoying and boring. Thanks for listening

Fun game computer rolls rigged to win for sure.

Don’t get this
It didn’t work. Would only throw me one move every time, and a button to skip the throw/go. When I chose the “abandon game” option the screen went blank, leaving no options at all. Rubbish.
I really love it!!!
Before I put money into the game I was doing fairly well… once I put money and I have not won a single game and I think that’s a little odd.
Bad Ai
Not random
Cool
How do we play as p2 against computer? And how do we select the other token set? Bored of using cones set all time
Sometimes a lot of fun, but it’s rigged
If you land on a space and switch your piece out with your opponent pharaoh, they will immediately roll the same number of spaces to switch their piece back. Also, if you’re ahead near the end of the board, they will magically roll 5’s and 4’s to catch up while you roll every number but the one you need. I’ve been in this scenario a handful of times already where I had one piece about to win, and the pharaoh had 2 pieces way back near the beginning of the board—and then, what a surprise, they caught up, and the game forced me into the water hazard (I couldn’t skip my turn because it obviously wanted me to lose), and the pharaoh won. It’s absolutely rigged, which is a shame, because Senet is so much fun to play. I hope the developers make the opponent’s moves more arbitrary and not so obviously attuned to them winning against all odds.

Bruh they made it so the computer wins all the time
The computer got 5 six times in a row I can’t win once and when it finds out I’m probably gonna beat teh bot I gave me ones 5 times in the row and when I needed one more one it gave me a five
The algorithm
The algorithm alone is enough of a reason to never play this again. It cannot be statistically correct when I can continuously predict what the computer will do. The designer of thus game has already said my claims are false but anyone who plays this with more than 100 IQ can call that bull.
