Very good version, the best Senet app I've played over all devices. fast paced rules and very nice and varied boards. Sullivan has worked hard to bring us these Aincent games for us to enjoy. I've updated now I have a new device and the boards selection has changed, I played on the 'aboriginal' board most as I loved the colour and the spiral design, is it still avaliable? Many thanks Marco

I am loving this app. It's fun, it explains the rules in a way that's simple to understand, but even gives you options to tweek some rules if you play differently. You get several games and different board styles to unlock. The ads are few and it's made by an indi developer rather than a big company. It's just really great overall.

Animation and music are great. Ads are only inbetween games. But the moment you are down to about 2 or 3 pieces left on the board the computer goes overdrive and rolls perfects all in a row wiping you out. Out of the blue. But the first half of the game feels balanced. Tried with all the dice sets. I want to keep this but the OP computer is super frustrating.
