The Royal Game of Ur is a two-player strategic racing game that was first played in ancient Mesopotamia in the early third millennium BC. A board, held by the British Museum, is dated 2600 – 2400 BC, making it one of the oldest games in the world. It was the most played game in Mesopotamia for almost 1000 years. The designs for your board are based on one found in the 1920s.
You will receive a unique 5 1/2″ x 16″ x 1/2″ game board finished with mineral oil, 4 pyramid shaped dice and 14 piece (all piece are created by us to reflect as closely as possible the original board game from the British Museum), instructions and a travel bag.
The top is made of wood and is carved so that the pattern does not fade over time. The dice and piece of the game are made of PLA, a biodegradable product created from corn starch and sugar cane.
Players – 2 Playing time 20/30 minutes
