Steam Store description

The Royal Game of Ur, also known as Twenty Squares, has a history that stretches over five millennia! Its earliest boards date back to 2500 BCE and examples have been found across the Mediterranean. This game is a 3D computer gameplay experience that takes you into the ancient world. The game board, pieces, and dice are 3D reconstructions of actual ancient examples from museums. This historical game is harder than it looks! This is a race game: speed is of the essence! It brings to a board game the ultimate skill for the merchants, traders, bandits and pirates who drove their fleets and caravans around the ancient world. The goal is to get your counters from start to finish around the board, before your opponent does. Prove your strategic skill! How will you play out your strategies: do you want to put all of your pieces on the board at once, or focus on moving a single piece along? With a good throw of the dice, would you rather move your own counter ahead, or take one of your competitor’s off the board? Watch out, this game was used for ancient divination: you may see a glimpse of your future as you play! Game Features: Desktop or Laptop gameplay via keyboard. Roll virtual dice on each turn and move your pieces around the board. Land on a rosette for an extra turn or land on an AI opponent's piece to trap it. Three different levels of gameplay difficulty through different AI opponents. Three different avatars for gameplay. Built in tutorial. Track your high scores in game. Control your resolution and background music. Educational! Learn about the Royal Game of U…
