The game senet was very popular with Egyptians. Everyone from the King to the lowest peasant played this game from childhood. The object was to move the pieces around the board first, hoping to land on the square called "good" and avoiding the "bad" squares. The jackal playing piece would be used in another game, "Hounds and Jackals."
