About Senet 2 Player
Senet 2 Player lets two people share one device and play a reconstructed version of the ancient Egyptian board game. It combines race-game movement with tactical blocking and timing.
How to play Senet 2 Player
Players take turns moving pieces along the board. The aim is to move through the track and bear pieces off before the other player. Use safe positions and blocks to slow your opponent when possible.
Who it is for

Tips for playing Senet 2 Player
