Royal Game of Ur

thingiverse

This is the Royal Game of Ur, the world's oldest known board game. Boards have been unearthed dating back to before 2600 BC! The game is played with seven markers and two binary dice. I've attached two different types of dice, the traditional tetrahedral die which requires painting on two tips and can be tricky to pick up, and my version of a d2. There are many varied rules, but the ones I found most enjoyable are detailed in this very engaging video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZskjLq040I
