Senet

This ancient Egyptian game of Senet, coded in Python using tkinter as the GUI, was my final project for Stanford University class CS106A.

Senet (meaning passing) was the ancestor of backgammon and held a lot of significance to pharaohs as the boards were often found it in their tombs. This game combines strategy, luck, and racing to get all pawns off the board.
