Want to Experience a Piece of History?
The Royal Game of Ur was played across the ancient Middle East over four thousand years ago, from Egypt, Sumeria, to Egypt. Pharaohs enjoyed the game so much they were even placed in their tomb to enjoy in the afterlife. Now you can bring this timeless game to life at your own table and engage with a piece of history.

Hand-Drawn Game Board
Let’s be honest, a game is at least 23% more fun when it looks like a treasure from history. This Royal Game of Ur board was illustrated by hand to resemble a fresh discovery sketched in an explorer’s field journal. Complete with weathered textures, a map, and ancient motifs inspired by artifacts discovered across Mesopotamia.
Simple Instructions
Don’t worry, you won’t need to decipher cuneiform to play! Each printable board comes with an easy-to-follow, illustrated guide showing you how to set up the pieces and play. The rules are simple enough to enjoy with a child, yet offer enough strategy and suspense as to who will get all of their pieces off first to keep everyone engaged for hours.
Paper Pieces & Dice
Your PDF download includes everything you need to craft your own playable set, cut-and-fold pieces and tetrahedral dice, just like those found with the original game over 4,000 years ago. All you need is paper, scissors, and a bit of glue.
