Description
At the time of this posting, the Royal Game of Ur is more than four thousand years old. Its original name, if it even had one at all, has been lost to antiquity. Nonetheless, unlike Senet, scholars have actually inferred the rules based on archaeological findings and we can enjoy it today in the comfort of your own small break area.

You're welcome! (in advance) :D

October 26, 2023 update: I painstakingly inscribed “Kingdom of Ur” in Sumerian inside the box. Hope this adds a little spice to the gaming experience.
