pedrocrespo has released an entry into the Scenery Beta 2009 (http://www.scenebeta.com/noticia/bases-scenery-beta-2009-international-homebrew-showcase)
I approach a new application to the Scenery Beta 2009, our Wiis adaptation of one of the oldest games known to man. This is the Egyptian game Senet, mechanics a little strange until you get used to but we will throw us a few sprints on rainy afternoons.
Author: pedrocrespo.
This game for 2 human players will surely delight fans of checkers, backgammon and board games where strategy matters more than luck.
Gameplay
Although the game includes a tutorial in English which explain the rules of mechanics and I recommend you paseis by Senet article on the Wikipedia where you can read the rules in Spanish. Personally this game reminded me of backgammon and Parcheesi, being a crossing a little odd.
The goal is to move your pieces at the end of the board blocking your opponent and making it back as far as possible, rather than given splints are used with 2 different faces (which in turn were probably easier to manufacture). If you want to learn to play it is essential to fully read the tutorial or article on wikipedia.
