Description

Seti is an attempt to make a playable game based on the extremely limited information we have on a particular ancient Egyptian game.

It's an abstract strategy game - each player has pharaoh and high priest pieces which move in familiar fashions. The object is to get a piece to the opposite end of the board.

The basic game is played on a 3×10 board and has an addition type of piece, the ship of the dead, which can be used to make a piece invulnerable (temporarily, it is to be supposed). The advanced game is played on a 5×10 board and does not use these pieces.

Hexagames (I) reprinted it in 1983/86 with revised rules by Manuel A. Widmaier (concerning the basic movement of the High Priest and the variation Seti-Beth , now with 2 Pharaohs for each player instead of one !).
