Abstract

In this work we compute the probabilities of obtaining the values associated with the throwing of four rods in the Egyptian game Senet. Our purpose is to, among several sets of rules obtained by some historians and archeologists, deduce which ones provide the most balanced game.
In the course of this study it was also possible to infer the most likely format for the rod’s cross section.
