Catalogue information
This game is one of the oldest known games. The original was found in the royal tombs of the historic city of Ur in Mesopotamia - an artfully inlaid with shells and lapis lazuli, which is now one of the treasures of the British Museum in London. The Ur game is a precursor to the Backgammon game and just as exciting as it is, because it is a successful combination of luck and strategy. The battle develops in the midfields; prisoners are taken, who must be taken to their own target space and removed from the board there. Prisoners can be reclaimed - entire towers are created. Finally, whoever covers all the opponent's stones is the winner of this game. Number of players: 2 Age: from 10 years Content: - wooden game board in 2 parts - 20 wooden playing stones - 2 dice - game rules
