Pros

The pyramid shaped dice are cool. I like how the wood slats hold everything in place. The hidden drawer to hold the game pieces is a nice addition.

The game of ur is a neolithic game that we still know the rules to, and it still plays remarkably well! As other have noted, i strongly recommend discarding the game rules that come in the box (at least at first). My bro is a game board collector and ... Read More

Quality

This product is very solid and the board itself is very well done

This game of ur is very well made

Granted its more of a functioning art piece more so than a game to be heavily played

Its made of pine as far as i can tell

Price

I was honestly just delighted to find a gameset at a reasonable price

All things considered its worth the money

This is a nice game for the price

If youre looking for a royal game of ur board for a decent price and quality this product is a good start

Shipping

Plus i received it very quickly and am happy to have it in time for christmas

Game arrived as advertised and before it was scheduled to be delivered

The package came in time and was in one piece no blemishes

Packaging/appearance

This was purchased as a christmas gift and im sure my son will love it

Competitiveness

Its easy to learn slightly similar to backgammon but a really great strategy game and its thousands of years old

That being said this is definitely the best commercially available option

The rules differ than the ones irving finkel from the britsh museum described

The race game is easy to learn but the blackgammon like game far older than blackgammom is more challenging
