here you can see a made up version of the game of senet.....I may make up my own rules to the game...but for now let's say I'll use these rules which are a fiction because the Egyptians aparently thought no one would ever NOT remember how it was played....VAIN? maybe..they never wrote down the rules of play....or at least we have not found them yet.....could be somewhere buried still....

now if you are confused as to what I am doing, What I am really on about is making SENET boards......highly crafted and of many sizes until they look sort of like these which belonged to King Tut....http://www.touregypt.net/MUSEUM/tutl69.htm

let me see if I can find another one....http://gouk.about.com/od/travelbyinterest/ig/Tutankhamun-Exhibition/Game-Board.htm

one more maybe but I'm not willing to work in IVORY....let's spare the Elephants shall we? maybe some kind of IVORY PLASTIC....

can't seem to find another example....there are supposed to be two more in the Tut Tomb...

today I'm going to make a simple Senet board from the likes of materials I purchase at Hobby Lobby (boy this stuff will be worth a lot in 300o years......not.....

My game is going to be like the Cleveland Museum rules for right now, but you will roll a D6... if you roll 1 or 5 you go again...BUUTTTTT, if you roll a SIX.....you have to move a piece backward six squares!!!! hahahhahaahaha!
