- The Royal Game of Ur' v1.0s is a Windows shareware version of the most
- ancient board game known -- 5 examples of which were found by
- Woolley at Ur. Played from at least 2500 BC and probably centuries
- before, the game spread to all the civilizations of the Near East
- and was the most popular game for at least 3000 years! This version
- offers excellent graphics, great game play, original MIDI background
- music, and good game sounds. Easy to play and learn, very fun, and
- very educational! BUT are you player enough to beat Arphaxad -- master
- craftsman of Ur and very possibly your ancient ancestor.
