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.  Everyone should have a place to relax and play ancient board games together.

The lock assembly has been updated to a ‘plank’ and twisty-screw that neatly anchors one half of the board to the other half once it's been tightened.

Here's a video of it being displayed, played, assembled/disassembled and finally packed up for travel:

… and here's a reasonable explanation as to how the game is played: 

This one prints without supports in your resin or filament printer.

If you found this useful, it would bring me great joy to see your work - so be sure to share. :)

OR… better yet, please feel free to dump a bitcoin or two here:

... include a note to the effect of "Hi Julius3E8, thanks for the [insert name of thing]... my life has improved five-fold on account of it and please accept this paltry amount in gratitude".

You're welcome! (in advance) :D

Also, feel free to peruse my other submissions which are almost as varied as they are many:

Enjoy!

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.
