Royal Game of Ur
Ancient game from Mesopotamia
I original saw this on YouTube being played by Tom Scott and the irrepressible Irving Finkel of the British Museum.

That was it. I was hooked, and simply had to design and print my own.

So I did.

I sold the first one, but look, here's another copy.

Hurrah!

The game is thought to have originated around 4,500 years ago. It's a dice, counter, chase, and clear the board style of game.

This is a travel set, including all the game pieces stored in a drawer which lives inside the board, held in place using magnets.
