The Royal Game of Ur (L. Spikes)

"THE ROYAL GAME OF UR"

Dating back to more than 5000 years ago, the oldest complete board game ever discovered was found inside the royal tombs at the ancient Sumerian city of Ur in Mesopotamia. The original name of the game remains unknown, and so it has become known as The Royal Game of Ur.

The complete rules have been lost to time, but many games historians, most notably Irving Finkel of the British Museum, have used various pieces of evidence to break new ground and piece together the rules from a later period.

The game is very simple to learn and play and will provide many sessions of relaxed enjoyment for those needing a break from the stresses of the day.
