About the history of The Royal Game of Ur:
In the 1920s, British Museum’s archaeologist Sir Leonard Wooley (1880-1960) found two of these game boards in the city of Ur. There is evidence that The Royal Game of Ur was the most popular game of the era. It is a typical race game, the ancestor of the genre. The rules applied in this iPad reconstruction are based on a cuneiform tablet from the 2nd century.
The framework application that comes with AGON - Ancient Games Of Nations is a virtual box which has twelve compartments to accommodate further board games. These will be made available one by one by Private Moon Studios. All AGON board games purchased will automatically integrate in the collection.
