‘Board games are beautiful’
A magazine about the craft, creativity and community of board games. Top fact, the magazine is named after (according to editor Dan Jolin) 'the oldest known board game, dating back to around 3,000 BCE in Egypt.'
In the opening letter of the Summer 2025 edition, editor Dan Jolin declares a ‘new era for the magazine,’ following the celebration of its fifth anniversary last issue. Described as ‘chunkier, funkier and packed with extra board-game goodness,’ this might just be Senet’s most ambitious issue yet. Highlights include a conversation with Ruth Haigh, longtime Senet fan and founder of The Treehouse Board Game Café in Sheffield; reassuring praise for Catan amidst claims that ‘the King’ of the tabletop world ‘is dead’; plus, a love letter to board game evenings.
