Both Senet and the Royal Game of Ur probably came into existence long before the game backgammon(西洋双陆棋),which itself has a long history.The game of Nard,which existed in Iran in around 3000 BC,used two sets of fifteen counters,four dice and the same board as the one used in backgammon today,although the initial starting positions and rules are different.Similar games were played in Ancient Rome and India.
