Good game

Ever since I was young I have been facsinated with Egypt. I'm so glad I've gotten to play this game. One improvement could be making it a two player game as well. That's all of the updates I can think of right now. But dtill great game.
FIX PLEASE!

After the update it keeps crashing at the title screen. Hope it gets fixed soon it's a great game.
Disappointing

Nice little game, but the random generator for the move numbers is badly flawed. By throwing sticks (i.e., 50/50), you'd expect the ratio of 1,2,3,4,5 to be 4:6:4:1:1. By taking a large sample, it instead appears to be uniform, that is 1:1:1:1:1. There also appears to be a consistent, but slight, bias toward the AI getting 1,4,5, meaning it can move again. With the right distribution of move numbers, this is a great game of positioning, blocking, and knowing the odds of a particular space getting hit. With the uniform distribution of move numbers, it's nothing more than a race to get your pieces off the board quickly, hoping the AI doesn't run off an improbable string of "move agains" late in the game. There's no strategy or thought in that. Fix that, and I'd give it 4 stars. Add an option for 7 pieces per player at the start, and it is an enthusiastic 5.
Not fixed

$6.99 app and still not working! Updated many times and still not fixed. DO NOT BUY !!!
Very disappointing.

The game is beautiful and I had high hopes. But as another reviewer observed (and I realized too late), the number generator is incorrect for the game. It does, indeed, appear to generate random numbers 1-5 with equal probability. This ruins the strategy of the game, which relies heavily on the unequal probability of throwing a particular number. They need to fix this in the next update. If it were fixed, it would be a 5-star game. As it is, it's not senet, but a senet-wannabe and not worth the $7.99. Very disappointed.
Unplayable on iPad2

I saw the Senet Deluxe HD sale, and remembered I had purchased the iPhone version. When I went to play it to see if it merited the upgrade, the game crashed each time. Reboot, reinstall, deleting apps in memory -- nothing works. It's a shame the developer doesn't update this to iOS4. As such, I cannot recommend it.
Great game

Works perfectly and has great graphics, the only thing missing is an option to play with a friend. It gets boring playing by yourself sometimes. But in any case great to pass the time with.
