The Royal Game of Ur is the world’s oldest playable boardgame!
Played by Sumerians in ancient Mesopotamia about 4,500 years ago!
It is a two-player race game, the rules of which have been deciphered from a cuneiform tablet.

Fragments from the Vault #009: Inscription on a Catacomb, Origin Unknown

Groaning and gargantuan, swamped on our shores -
Like a lost ark.
And when it ended I became the writhing desert,
Lashing its tail."
