H4ydn: Copy edit of first /* Scoring */ paragraph. Also replacing mention of "cloisters" with "monasteries" since that's what BGA uses when scoring (see any replay).

==Gameplay==
The game board is a medieval landscape built by the players as the game progresses. The game starts with a single terrain tile face up and 71 others shuffled face down for the players to draw from. On each turn a player draws a new terrain tile and places it adjacent to tiles that are already face up. The new tile must be placed in a way that extends features on the tiles it touches: roads must connect to roads, fields to fields, and cities to cities.

After placing each new tile, the placing player may opt to station a piece (called a "follower" or "meeple") on a feature of that newly placed tile. The placing player may not use a follower to claim any features of the tile that extend or connect features already claimed by another player. However, it is possible for terrain features claimed by opposing players to become "shared" by the subsequent placement of tiles connecting them. For example, two field tiles, each having a follower, can become connected by another terrain tile into a single field shared by each follower's player. If a shared feature is connected to yet another feature of the same type claimed by one of the same players, said player, now having more followers in that feature, gains full claim over the feature.

When a feature other than a field is completed, all meeples in the completed feature are returned to the players who placed them, and can be reused. The player(s) with the most meeples in the feature score points immediately (see below).

The game ends when the last tile has been placed. At that time, all features (including fields) score points for the players with the most followers on them. The player with the most points wins the game.

==Scoring==
During the players' turns, cities, monasteries (also known as cloisters) and roads (but not fields) are scored when they are "completed" — cities and roads when they are actually completed (i.e. contain no unfinished edges from which they may be expanded) and monasteries when they are completely surrounded by eight tiles. At the end of the game, when there are no tiles remaining, all incomplete features are scored. Points are awarded to the players with the most followers in a feature.

If there is a tie for the most followers in any given feature, all of the tied players are awarded the full number of points. In general (see table), points are awarded for the number of tiles covered by a feature; monasteries score for neighboring tiles; and fields score based on the number of connected ''completed'' cities.

Once a feature is scored, all of the followers in that feature are returned to their owners.

H4ydn: Undo revision 7384 by 2Reign (talk) - Cloisters are Monasteries. The terms are interchangeable. Revision 7384 (no points for incomplete monastery at game end) contradicts the scoring description that was already there (points for incomplete cloisters at game end).

==Gameplay==
The game board is a medieval landscape built by the players as the game progresses. The game starts with a single terrain tile face up and 71 others shuffled face down for the players to draw from. On each turn a player draws a new terrain tile and places it adjacent to tiles that are already face up. The new tile must be placed in a way that extends features on the tiles it touches: roads must connect to roads, fields to fields, and cities to cities.

After placing each new tile, the placing player may opt to station a piece (called a "follower" or "meeple") on a feature of that newly placed tile. The placing player may not use a follower to claim any features of the tile that extend or connect features already claimed by another player. However, it is possible for terrain features claimed by opposing players to become "shared" by the subsequent placement of tiles connecting them. For example, two field tiles, each having a follower, can become connected by another terrain tile into a single field shared by each follower's player. If a shared feature is connected to yet another feature of the same type claimed by one of the same players, said player, now having more followers in that feature, gains full claim over the feature.

When a feature other than a field is completed, all meeples in the completed feature are returned to the players who placed them, and can be reused. The player(s) with the most meeples in the feature score points immediately (see below).

The game ends when the last tile has been placed. At that time, all features (including fields) score points for the players with the most followers on them. The player with the most points wins the game.

==Scoring==
During the players' turns, cities, cloisters, and roads (but not fields) are scored when they are completed—cities and roads when they are completed (i.e. contain no unfinished edges from which they may be expanded), and cloisters when surrounded by eight tiles.

H4ydn: /* Special gamefields */ - note about returning from House of Waters when House of Second Life is occupied

== Summary ==

Senet ("''The Game of Passing Through the Netherworld''") is well over 5000 years old, and is therefore most probably the oldest board game ever known. It comes from Ancient Egypt, where it was used to amuse people and serve as a religious metaphor for the human soul's journey towards a blessed afterlife.

Senet is an elegant and quick blocking game for two players, who compete against each other by moving their own pawns across a gameboard of thirty squares. Despite its old age, Senet turns out to be an amusing and tense little game for today's gamers as well.

== Goal ==

Move your stones (one at a time) on a reverse "S"-shaped gametrack from the upper left to the lower right corner of the gameboard, where they can leave the gamearea.

Be the first to bear all your stones off the gameboard to win!

== The four "casting sticks" ==

The thrown sticks determine, how far you can move a stone during your turn.

How to read the sticks:
Count the sticks with their light sides up (results can be: 1, 2, 3 or 4).
If no light sides show up at all - that's counted as a result of 5.

Throwing values of 1, 4 and 5 grant Extra Turns. However, if you have to move a stone backwards you forfeit any extra turns.

== Movement rules ==

If your stone lands on the opponent's unprotected stone, they swap places.

You cannot land on a stone of your own colour.

Two or more adjacent stones of the same colour protect each other.

You always have to try to do a forward move. If this is not possible, you have to move one of your stones backwards.

If you have NO valid moves to make at all - you lose your turn.

Stones on the last 4 gamefields are never protected and cannot be moved - just borne off.

== Special gamefields ==

* Field 26 ('The House of Beauty'): All stones must STOP here on an exact throw, before they can go further. A stone standing here can be borne off the board on an exact throw of 5.

* Field 27 ('The House of Waters'): This is a pitfall! If you have a stone 'drowning' here, you have to decide whether to return the stone to Field 15 ('The House of Second Life') or to take the sticks and risk to throw a value of 4. (If you succeed to throw a 4 - the stone is borne off). If you choose return, but Field 15 is occupied by your opponent, you will move to the closest, preceding, available Field

* Field 28 ('The House of Three Judges'): A stone standing here, can be borne off the board by an exact throw of 3.

* Field 29 ('The House of Two Judges'): A stone standing here, can be borne off the board by an exact throw of 2.

* Field 30 ('The House of Horus'): A stone standing here, can be borne off the board by ANY throw.

If a stone is attacked on the last 3 gamefields, it is dropped into the "water" (unless the House of Waters is occupied already).

Be the first to bear all your stones off the gameboard!
