  Mehen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mehen simply means (one who is) coiled, and describes both, as they are both a coiled snake.
Texts, which do not currently appear to be descriptions of a game, indicate that Mehen was considered to be a snake-god who either coils around Apep to protect Ra from him, during his journey through the night, or instead coils protectively around Ra and his boat, a form in which he is often depicted.
Mehen was consequently sometimes merged, in depictions, with Set, who also, originally, was considered to protect Ra, and thus was shown as a serpent-headed man with a spear, standing in Ra's boat.

 Mehen
One possible clue: Mehen was also the name of the serpent god of the ancient Egyptian Sun Cult -- and this double meaning points to the reason I’ve added ‘Forbidden’ to this game’s description and a possible reason for its fall from favor as a recognized game in the ancient Egyptian empire.
The Sun Cult envisioned the god Mehen as a huge serpent who wrapped the Sun God Re in its coils when he set in the west and protected him on his journey, on the river of night, from the evil forces of the underworld.
Tim Kendall writes: “Mehen’s role was essential, for if Re were not protected from these enemies, he might not rise in the morning, which would result in the cessation of all life.
