#royal game of ur
Tumblr media
The Royal game of Ur is a two-player racing board game dating back to 3000 BCE. Its rules have been reconstructed with the aid of a tablet written by Itti-Marduk-balāṭu. Players each pick a colour, and, starting in opposite corners on one end of the board, race their pieces along a path for their colour. Dice are rolled to determine the number of squares pieces can move. In the middle of the board, the paths overlap, and pieces can be captured. A player wins when they successfully race all their pieces to the end of the board.

The Game of Ur (2022)
As a wrap-up gift for our friends and contributors, the Past-at-Play lab (that includes me) have whipped up a couple of stylised print-out versions of the game we have spent the last two years researching. While it is officially called ‘royal,’ we know that literally everybody played this game 5,000 years ago, so we’re simply calling it The Game of Ur, or The Game of 20 Squares. (Now available in naval, seasonal, and research skins!)

This is in light of certain events where all of these games have had some blatant pay to win bullshit going on by the way. So I made this poll to see which game you guys think is the most pay to win (p2w) and why.
