Description
The Royal Game of Ur dates back to 3,000 BC. The rules for this game were lost. Archeologists uncovered game boards, but the rules for the game remained a mystery. In the early 1980s, Irving Finkel, a curator at the British Museum, translated a cuneiform tablet that revealed the rules for the game.
When it’s your turn, tap on the piece you want to move or on the square you wish to move to. Pieces are moved one square for each die that lands with a white spot showing. The goal is to be the first player to move all of their pieces through the course. If your token lands on a square marked with a rosette, you get another turn. If your piece lands on your opponent’s piece, you send it back to the start. A piece on the center rosette is safe from capture.

Game of Ur Reviews
This is a decent app. Its cheap. It doesnt collect data about you, advertise to you, or harass you for in-app purchases. It wont let you start a new game on command, though. Also, it counts a win once at the end of a game and after closing the app and re-opening it starts a position from the end of the last game and counts another point for the winner. But for those drawbacks, Id recommend it to friends.

Im so glad we finally found a good version of Ur for our phone. We’ve tried others, and this is the best one for sure. The premium price is fair, no ads, no IAP, no tracking. It takes up almost no space and uses very little battery. The UI and design are really well done. And we love the flick option of flicking your opponents piece off the board if you want extra fun removing them, it somehow gives you extra satisfaction, its a small but playful option that adds a extra fun. Also, the dice rolls do seem totally random to us, like real dice, and not all apps are good at that. This one gets that right. The AI is good too, it seems balanced and smart. As a plus, the game saves your place when you close the app. Perfect for when you have to go back to work. Thank you developer for bringing this game to the phone so fairly and so beautifully. Getting this game made our day!
