royal game of Ur, solid walnut / maple / cherry
Have you heard of the royal game of Ur? We had not until we came across the Tom Scott vs Irving Finkel video of playing this exciting old world strategy game. We find the game very balanced (for brief rules, please click here). It keeps both players engaged throughout the play and leaves them with the sense of fairness, which is hard to come by nowadays :)
As luck would have it, our current tooling set up allowed us to create an awesome intricate board with handy pockets to store your pieces. Our royal game of Ur boards are made of carefully selected locally-sourced solid ash, cherry, maple, walnut, and finished with water-based semi-gloss finish.
Dimensions of the board: 6” W, 15” L, min 3/4” H.
Included with each board:
two sets of 7 game pieces made of solid maple
4 D6 dice with pass/fail - 50/50
black velvet pouch for game pieces
Free laser-engraving on the back of the board (140 characters max).
