Can we decode the ancient Egyptian board game rules of Senet using the Bible?
Nobody knows, looks like there’s been rules invented that involve rolling dice, removing pieces, and magic squares. The rules I thought are much simpler and obey the law of Moses too. Thou shall not murder. Though shall escape slavery.

The purpose of the game is to gather all your 5 tribes together as a nation. There’s no imprisonment allowed like in Chess but you are allowed to take captive into slavery by blocking and surrounding. First to gather all 5 together at the ends of the board is the winner!

One side has the Nile River so both try to get to that side first. Or both sides have water, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates, so it’s a race to whoever gets to a side first.
One side will most likely take another captive into slavery by blocking and surrounding.
Or one side will be stranded in the middle of board, lost in the wilderness as the other side reaches the water first.
