Ur Game: The Game of Ancient Gods

Step into a faithful re-creation of The Royal Game of Ur, a board game born in ancient Mesopotamia more than 4500 years ago. This edition brings the legend to life with a Baltic-simple aesthetic that hides a genuine depth of strategy and luck.

In Ur Game, you play as an ancient god, channeling emotion as you gain emotion points. Your mood grows with triumphs and setbacks alike, adding a thematic layer to every roll and decision.

• Race to move all of your stones from the starting area to the finish line.
• Use special tetrahedral dice to determine how far you can move each turn.
• Exactly match the finish to win—offs, overs, or incomplete moves don’t count.

• Five rosette fields on the board grant an extra throw when you land on them, keeping you in the race.
• Only one stone can occupy a single field at a time, so positioning and timing are crucial.
• If you have no legal moves within the rolled value, you skip your turn and the opponent advances.

• Play against AI for quick practice and testing strategies.
• Enjoy local multiplayer for shared-table competition.
• Connect in online multiplayer to race against players from around the world.

Though the rules appear simple, Ur Game blends light luck with thoughtful planning. The timeless board and ritual of rolling the dice create tense, action-packed moments as you chase victory. It’s a compact, story-rich racing game that captures millennia of culture and competition in a single session.
