If you land on one of these houses, there are special rules you have to follow. The House of Happiness or Pretty House is marked by what looks like three upside down stick figures. All of your pieces need to pass through this house to win.
You must land on the house exactly. If, for example, the House of Happiness is located on square 26 and you're on square 25, if you do not roll in such a way that you'll move exactly one house you have to stay in place until your next turn. If you land on the House of Water, you have to move straight back to the House of Rebirth.
The House of Rebirth is marked by three sideways stick figures. Your piece remains on the House of Rebirth until you choose to remove it again. The House of Three Truths is marked by a drawing of three birds. If you land on this house, you can throw your sticks again. If you have three color sides up, you can automatically remove this piece from the board. The House of Re-Atoum is marked by two dancing stick figures.
If you have landed here, throw your sticks again. If you have two colored sticks facing up, you can remove your piece from the board. The last house on the board is marked by a leaf-like drawing. When you reach this house, you must toss your sticks again. You cannot remove your piece until you toss your sticks and only one colored stick is facing upwards.
Win the game. The object of senet is to move all your pieces off the board. The first player to do so wins. You can only move side to side when you are at the end of a row. And you don't necessarily 'bump' other people, but you can capture them. In chess, you can physically 'bump' a piece off a square if it is captured, and I suppose you could do that with Senet, but that's not technically how it's done.

Not Helpful 44 Helpful The drawings are hieroglyphs that represents each house. Each symbol stands for a different word. After a piece is captured, it must go back to where you were at the beginning of your turn. So technically, you can be released, if you can manage to catch up to the person.
You could, but that would likely require a somewhat larger board depending on how detailed you make it. Or, if you wanted a wider range of special houses, then you would be required to design your own. Ancient Egyptians may have had some others, but all references we have found have pointed towards there just being the ones shown on this page.

What do you notice about the tiles on the game board? The original tiles and fragments were found in an ancient Egyptian tomb along with game pieces shaped like cones and spools. They are made of faience fay-AHNCE , a ceramic material that was often produced in a blue or blue-green color that symbolized life.
Conservators have filled in missing tiles and parts of tiles with modern material. You can see the difference, because the color of the original faience appears darker while the modern ceramic material is a lighter blue. The conservators also used modern wood to reconstruct the box that held the tiles. Grid for senet with the squares numbered 1— Illustration by Emily Sutter.
The game was complicated. Two players determined their moves by throwing casting sticks or bones. A game piece started at square 1 on the upper left and zig-zagged across each row and down to the next, until it crossed square 30 on the bottom right. Each player could make moves to advance a piece and pass other pieces on the board.
Each player could also block other pieces from moving forward or force their opponent backwards. Top of the senet board Age rating For ages 10 and up.
