Royal Game of Ur

Version

Archaeologists suggest that this game is more than
4500 years old. The object of this game is to enter
all your pegs into the board, move the pegs around the
board and then out of the board. The pegs enter the
board from the middle square on one side, then move
down the side, up the middle column, then down the
same side and then leave the board. The center column
is shared by the two players and is the war zone, when
a piece lands on a square occupied by pieces of the
opponent, those pieces are knocked off and must start
again. The number of steps a piece can move is
determined by throwing a four sided throwing stick. A
piece can enter the board with any throw. When a piece
enters a rosette square, that piece is save and cannot
be captured by opponent pieces, the player can also
throw again. An exact throw is needed to leave the
board. The player who first have all his pieces left
the board wins.
