we figured out the rules a while ago, it's a racing game where each player has multiple pieces they need to move along the board, and can interact in the center where they can capture one another and make that piece restart. movement on the board is determined by rolling a special die. the game is known as the royal game of ur
We can't know for certain the rules we now attribute to this game are what were originally played though. The rules were essentially made up in a way that made sense to what the board looks like and what was found with it. There is no documentation on this found anywhere in history.
The video posted elsewhere in this thread shows a clay tablet containing an expanded ruleset from the Hellenic period that allows the basic rules to be intuited with more confidence.
Ah even back then people were throwing out the instructions smh
It's actually a quite good game. I hope to get mine signed by Irving Finkel. Sadly, he was not in when I bought a replica at the British Museum.
Yep, I have a copy. It's pretty fun.
Where are the alien robots?
This looks a lot like the one Tom Scott played on his channel.
The Royal Game of Ur
Yep. I actually bought one of the replicas from the museum after I watched the video.
That wouldn't surprise me a bit.
You got a link?
Not the original poster, but it's on the British Museum's channel: https://youtube.com/watch?v=WZskjLq040I

Ouija board explodes and the lights start flickering. The front door slams shut and you can hear it locking.
