Something fun to pass time. A mix of dice luck, and strategy. Can be a little glitchy, doesn't always accept the roll and you have to roll again.
No wonder this game was popular for thousands of years. A great mix of luck and skill. A very simple game but encourages cunning and much "what would happen if" mindful forethought. Being intuitive, it is a great game to just let intuition take over whilst trying to remember the different odds of throwing 0,1,2,3,4. So a heady mix of sensation and calculation . The odds, by the way for 0,1,2,3,4 are respectively 1,4,6,4,1 out a 16 chance. I am discovering that there are different strategies for different parts of the board and different stages of the game. Additionally, there are "jokers in the pack" i.e. the squares that on which you cannot be taken but you also have the option of another turn. The game can twist around in seconds with the immanent loser suddenly winning the game. So it can be extremely exciting. So pleased the game has been rediscovered in modern days. Do have a go at this remarkable game honed to perfection over millennia. A game is just the right length to drink a cup of tea.

It's a really simple game but implement well. Definitely some interesting decisions in the game. I think there should be a button you can press to see which number controls which piece, because they all look the same.
What a lovely game to play with a friend. Even if your friend lives on the otherside of the world.
One may think that there is nothing to this game at all. For all your strategy and even with the best luck the entire game.....you can get to the very last piece a couple ahead....stuck on the last square, losing....because you could NOT get a lucky 1 roll. And Yes rolling a ONE can be a godsend if you want to test your multiple roll strats. Oldest game in the world for a reason, it's fun. Is it worth the price? Maybe(yes in my book)
Basic digital version of the boardgame. Graphics and animations are very basic, but they do the job
Very simple, with a clean interface and light artsy aesthetic. Includes two variants of the game - shame the most advanced version isn't present, but in fairness almost nobody actually plays it.
Ur go Brr
Simple board game with strategy elements to make game play interesting.
Общая информация об игре Игра названа в честь одноименного государства, некогда расположенного на территории современного Ирака. Возраст найденных археологами игровых досок составляет более 5000 лет. Считается, что эта игра, самая древняя из всех найденных - дальний родственник современным нардам. Личные впечатления Игра мне показалась очень похожей на нарды(хотя в этом случае наоборот). Главной особенностью считаю очень напряженную борьбу между игроками из за того что ходы очень короткие от 0 до 4.
