This Senet set is designed for portability and durability, with every component stored neatly inside a magnet secured case. The board is made of two halves that lock together for play and separate to create the display lid that shows all six hieroglyphs.
The set includes two fully interchangeable hieroglyph tile styles. One style is inspired by the richly detailed board discovered in the Tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. The other style follows the simpler appearance of the Dynasty 18 New Kingdom Senet board that is currently on display at the Brooklyn Museum. Either style can be used alone or mixed freely to create your preferred layout.
The player pieces follow the traditional system of two distinct shapes, redesigned with smooth modern lines for a clean print. The set also includes traditional dual color stick style dice.
Game Board
Tiles
Two hieroglyph styles: richer set A and simpler set B
Each tile prints as two parts: symbol + background
Glue together, then glue onto the board.
Board
Prints in two halves
Magnets are used at the ends of halves and under tiles:
Use ⌀6.0×1.8 mm magnets
Most magnets sold as 2.0 mm thick are actually 1.7 to 1.8 mm thick and they work just fine.
Game can be played without any magnets, board halves just don't stay lined up
The two halves slide together to form the case lid.
Case
Designed to store the entire game: board halves, tiles, sticks, and pieces.
Every item has a dedicated slot.
Board halves act as a sliding lid with the hieroglyphs exposed on top.
Slide the bottom half of the board upside down!
Magnets are optional
Game pieces
Two matching player sets.
Three print model options:
Solid (no magnets)
Two-part shell (print separately, insert magnet, then glue)
