How do senet sticks work?

Senet sticks, used in the ancient Egyptian game of Senet, functioned as a form of dice. Typically made from wood or bone, they were flat and had one side marked and the other unmarked. Players would toss the sticks, and the outcome determined their moves on the game board, similar to how dice are used in modern games. The combination of marked and unmarked sides created a random element, adding excitement and strategy to the game.
