The Royal Game of Ur

The Royal Game of Ur is one of the oldest known board games in the world. It was played in ancient Mesopotamia 4600 years ago. It is called the "Royal Game of Ur" because in the 1920's British archaeologist Sir Leonard Woolley discovered five game boards during an excavation of the royal cemetery in the ancient city of Ur.
