The Royal Game of Ur is the oldest board game ever discovered nearly as
old as written history itself, that’s about 5000 years, as a result there are
many variations the rules here are from the British Museum.

Goal – Get all your tokens down your path before your opponent to win

Setup:
This is a 2 player game, each has 7 tokens (those are either the light or
dark hexagons incase you’re wondering).
To decide who goes first, each player throws all 4 binary dice (those are the triangles). Add up the number of light faces, the one with the most goes first. (if there’s a draw, try again dang it!)

Game:

Path – You can use any set of paths (I have 3 here), each player starts at the solid circle on their side of the board and follows the line of the arrow around to its end, the hollow triangle. For example on the first diagram you start near the middle, head down, then at the bottom the paths merge in the center column going up, before splitting back to your sides and finish heading down again.

Moving – Players take turns throwing all the binary dice, moving one of their tokens the number of spaces as the number of light dice faces. All tokens begin off the board moving only forward along their path (say a token is off the board and you roll a 4, it may move all the way to the 1st rosette). To leave the board a token must roll exactly 1 more than the squares left (so on the final square you must roll a 1 to get off the board), once a token gets to the end and off the board it is out of the game.

Landing on another token – 2 tokens may not occupy the same space. If a player ‘lands on’ an opponent’s token, that opponent’s token is taken off the board, returned to the stack of unplayed tokens. A player can’t land on
their own token and so must move something else (it is entirely possible
to be unable to move any piece in which case you must skip that turn).

Rosettes – When a token lands on a square with a rosette they may take another turn, rolling and moving any of their tokens. Any token on a rosette is also immune from being ‘landed upon’ by an opponent.

The first player to get all 7 of their pieces to the end of the board wins and ends the game!
