Senet

Set up pieces alternating between the two players along the first row of squares.

Players take turns tossing the throwing sticks to get a move value, then advance one piece that many squares along the snaking path.

Landing on a square occupied by a single opposing piece swaps its position with yours, sending the opponent's piece backward.

Two or more of a player's pieces standing together on adjacent squares form a block that can't be passed or swapped.

Certain squares near the end of the board carry special effects, sending pieces backward or requiring an exact roll to leave the board.

The first player to move all of their pieces off the final square wins.
