From the ancient world comes an amazing game of skill and cunning. This game, known today as the Royal Game of UR, is considered one of the very first board games ever created, dating to around 4,000 years ago. Discovered in the ancient lands of Sumer (Sumeria), this game rules were unknown, until an equally ancient tablet was discovered, it's surface filled with cuniform (the ancient written language of the region). On this tablet was the rule set for this game! Never before did we discover original playing instructions for such an ancient game! This means that the game you play today is just as it was played over four millennia ago by the ancient people of the Mesopotamian regions.

This game is hand crafted by the artist that designed it. Made of fine woods including Birch and Cherry, this beautiful game is styled in the designs of the original artifacts. It features a drawer at the back of the board, which allows you to store your playing pawns and dice when you are not playing the game. Comes with instructions for playing, pawns and triangular die.
Game measures 12" long, 4.5" wide and 2" tall.

If you have any questions please ask, thanks for looking!

Please note: Due to ongoing global supply chain issues the dice and drawer pull knob may vary slightly in color and material from photos. They are the two small parts of this game that I don't manufacture myself.

Lovely, beautiful craftmanship. Etsy's habit of printing shipping label before the item is truly ready to be shipped causes confusion for purchaser. I would recommend a bit more cushioning, a thicker box and stronger strapping tape to protect this handmade Game of Ur on its journey. Including an invoice or just a note with sender/receiver information would be helpful. Thank you, DG.
