What Makes This World's Oldest Strategy Game Uncommon

Dating back to 2600 BCE, the Royal Game of Ur is a thrilling two-player race where competitors must swiftly navigate their pieces across the board to outpace their opponents. The matchup combines simple-to-learn rules (learn it in 90 seconds) with strategic moves and dice rolls, offering habit-forming fun for all ages. Compact and travel-friendly, this screen-printed canvas edition lets you carry a slice of gaming history for head-to-head challenges anywhere.

  • Set up the board quickly and take turns rolling the special four-sided dice to move your stones.
  • Race to move all five of your stones across the board before your opponent.
  • Beware: Your opponent can land on your pieces, sending you back to the beginning.
  • Each two-player matchup lasts between 10 and 20 minutes.
  • Best for competitors ages 10+.
  • Comes with a game board screen-printed on soft fabric, 10 player stones, three tetrahedron-shaped dice, and a travel-friendly drawstring bag.
  • Made in China.

Usually ships within 24 hours.
