Forgotten Game of Ur

Very fun little game. While we DO now know the rules of the game (see Dr. Irving Finkle's clips on youtube) this variant is a bit more complex, and frankly more fun. I have only three quibbles: it's "dice" not dices for plural, the end game window is the same when you win or lose and it's not easily clear how the dice work (also, the original rules had 4 dice, allowing possible rolls of 0-4 - could be even more interesting with that).

Doesn't follow the rules of Ur, and lacks the safe spot in the middle that the original game had. Changes some of the strategy and seems like a lazily coded game. Also was letting the other side stack counters on each other in their starting 4 spaces.

Would be a much better game if higher levels of AI weren't just the odds of the rolls being stacked against you. The difficulty feels artificial and makes me greatly dislike the gameplay against AI.

The game seems fairly solid even if it makes up the rules rather than the traditional/original rules. It's a shame that the 5th level of AI cheats by adjusting it's roll to give more favorable odds to itself

Wow, an amazing little game. Very good ruleset, I have tried a couple of others, this is so far the most fun! Hotseat is great, I have yet to get some of my friends into Ur. Couple of suggestions 1) Could you bump the ai difficulty up a little? Even the hardest is not much of a challenge 2) I am missing some of the rules mentioned in game - like that you can not capture the simple figure with the advanced "number 5 figure", had to figure some rules just by analyzing what I can and can not do 3) Online gameplay, players have like 10 seconds after each roll to decide on move, if they fail to act 3 times in a row, they lose. There could be rating system and a ladder of the best players. Good job all in all!

Fun little addicting game. A special feeling knowing it's supposed age. AI needs improvement though as highest level is beaten on the first run.

A terrible reimagining of the rules. Installed, cranked the difficulty to the max, won my first and only match and don't wanna play even one more match of this misdesigned game where you can only attack the opponent's pieces in an extremely limited handful of prescribed situations unlike in the traditionally held set of rules.

The rules have been deciphered... These aren't them, and this is unbalanced compared to the original rules. It might have been good at one time, but without including the original rules as an option​, this version is lacking.

Okay so like some others have said from what I've learnt of this game there are a couple differences in this version - but heck still really enjoyable. I'd give it a 4.5 rating as it comes really close to the game I'm familiar with and No Ads! That's right people, if you hate capitalism as much as I do you'll be glad to read there's no ads - it's an ad free game and a fun one at that! Also people whining about level 5 - I must have completed it about a dozen times now with more wins than loses. It's not programmed to cheat or get better dice rolls - it's all chance, working out probability and the skill to know where to put your pieces. Don't be sore losers ????

An excellent game. I find the suggestion that the AI cheats on level 5 quite amusing. I win 75% of the time. With solid strategy and good placement, any dice roll will present good moves. Amazing how much complexity can be packed into a seemingly simple game. Thinking about buying a replica of the ancient game board that someone's making via Kickstarter.

Man I tell ya this type of games just keeps getting better and better! So far this one is the most challenging and I'm loving it! ????????????????????

Before I stumble into the shower I roust the rusty cogs with a round of Ur. It's fast pace is and strategic fun seems to start my day off on a faster beat.

Nobody quite knows what the rules were but Dmitry Skyruk's rule set make this game quite enjoyable.

The only thing wrong are the rules in my opinion, please make them adjustable.

Классная игра, но есть баг. Если заблокировать и разблокировать экран то кости перекидываются

I love the game. But can you add the feature. That would allow it to be put on the SD card and run. That would be great. Thanks.

Game play doesnt follow the rules of the games

Excellent game, could have more difficult levels

Not the proper rules

Poor rules translation

You know what's great with games? Instructions are great with games.

Keeps crashing

Very good racing game.

The game is best with two people. The app has glitches. The ai cheats.

Backgammon meets Mancala. I am so addicted.

Simple, Enjoying. Thank you!

This game is good and I was able to play it with ease (even with potentially frustrating AI). It could have just been better if there was a 2-player mode.

Не особо люблю абстрактные игры, но эта понравилась своей необычной доской и механикой.

It's a fun game until you get to level 5 then instead of making smart moves the game just gives itself the exact roll it needs each time while giving you consistent low rolls. Very disapointed, for once i thought i had found a game that the designers actualy spent some time on. Turns out in level 5 they just gave up. Uninstalled.

I have played many versions of this game and even made a few myself. This has quickly become my favorite version. The rules are well thought out and they make each square a different strategic use. Thank you for a wonderful game.

This is by far the BEST version of Ur I could find anywhere. I can officially say I have UR FEVER. I would love to play others online to test my skills - on the hardest setting I beat the computer about 70% of the time. A desktop version would be nice too. It doesn't answer all the mysteries of Ur but it's a very convincing guess at the original rules. Very impressive - love it!

Really unique game, enjoyed it! It could use a bit more descriptive info on the menu buttons but overall a new challenge.

Not sure if ai is cheating. Or i just have really bad luck...

A very nicely enhanced 4000+ year old gem of a game

Center 5 spot wont let you attack on the way back home. Also the flowers at the right side loop aren't allowing attacks. Another thing is the menu, it has what seems to be a multiplayer option that doesnt work.

Great work, developer.

Game itself looks great! But the rules are absolutely and completely wrong.

Играл с простым ИИ для начала. Выиграл Очень интересно! Спасибо за восстановление правил и отличную реализацию!

Pieces move so fast you cant see where they came from or are going
