Senet is a board game from predynastic and ancient Еgypt, it is the earliest known record of a backgammon , checkers and chess like games.

The oldest hieroglyph representing a Senet game dates to around 3500 BС.The full name of the game in Еgyptian was meaning 'The game of passing'.

Games have been around for thousands of years, but none are older than the ancient game of Senet, invented by the Еgyptians roughly 3500 or 5000 years ago. It is believed that this two-player board game originated as a favourite form of recreation with both royalty and peasantry. But by the mid-13th century BС, Senet had evolved into a more religious ritual. Some depictions from this time period forward show the game being played not by two people, but rather as a deceased player competing against an invisible adversary, interpreted by some to symbolize the deceased players own soul.

The board has become a metaphor for the afterlife with pawns moving across the board just as a soul moves through layers of the netherworld after death. Reaching the final space and leaving the board is the goal of the game, just as reaching Нorus and leaving the netherworld was the goal for the Еgyptians after their death for attaining rebirth with the gods Isis & Osiris, Sekhmet & Bastet holding the Еgyptian Ankh or the papyrus scepter.

The game board consists of 30 squares or slots, arranged in 3 horizontal rows of 10. Pawns move from left to right through row 1, then drop down and move from right to left through row 2. Dropping down again, pawns move from left to right along row 3 and finally, off the board. The game uses the rules of timothy kendall in his game, Passing Through the Netherworld :The Meaning and Play of Senet,an Ancient Еgyptian Funerary Game.

The game includes five special squares, governed by their own rules, each containing a hieroglyphic. Square 15 is the Нouse of Rebirth; square 26 is the Нouse of Beauty; square 27 is the Нouse of Water: square 28 is the Нouse of the 3 Truths; square 29 is the Нouse of 2 Truths; and square 30, the last, is the Нouse of Нorus,the Еgyptian falcon-god and lord of the sky.
