Co-founded by James Hunter (formerly The Times/The Sunday Times) and Dan Jolin (Empire), Senet is an independent quarterly magazine printed on high-quality, heavy-stock paper. Now in its fifth year of production, its readership now includes over 2,500 subscribers worldwide. Every gorgeously designed issue contains in-depth features, interviews with cutting-edge designers and artists, and the world’s best writing on all things tabletop.

Recently, Senet was included in Actualol’s “11 Gifts for Board Gamers (That Aren’t Games)”, in which presenter John Purkis described Senet as “a thing of beauty”, with “such a striking, sophisticated aesthetic, you feel classier just holding it.”

In November last year, Dan Jolin was awarded Best Editor – Independent for Senet at the British Society of Magazine Editors Awards, while James Hunter was shortlisted for Art Director of the Year – Independent (having won Art Director of the Year – Consumer the previous year).
