The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A slow, thoughtful board game with a calm, historical atmosphere, where you throw sticks to move pieces across a grid.

What players say

Players describe Senet as a simple, luck-heavy board game that offers a glimpse into ancient Egyptian history but suffers from a braindead AI, no updates since launch, and suspected dice cheating by the computer. It is easy to beat even on the hardest difficulty, and the lack of online multiplayer limits replay to local play.
