Senat? Senet?

Are Senet and Senat different games or (as I suspect) actually two alternate spellings of the same game? Luis Dantas 16:55, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are the same, I will merge "Senat" here. Andreas Kaufmann 22:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Backgammon

Maybe we should add some reference to backgammon here, as it is frequently claimed that Senet is an ancient antecedent to backgammon. Is there merit in this?

Nearly every source I have ever seen on the history of backgammon says this is true. Of course, it really needs a footnote. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 00:51, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lost

-- In the "Lost" mention, shouldn't it include that the whole Series is how Jacob and his brother play Senet using HUmans as pieces? That the end where they all are living in a "limbo" and waiting for the last one to die and join them so they can all "finish the game together"?--79.141.46.227 (talk) 15:52, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
