The game board pictured above was found in an ancient tomb at Ur, Abraham’s home town. Abraham might have played it. In fact, in John Huston’s The Bible, we see Abraham playing the game while waiting for Isaac to be born.
You can play, too, if you can buy “The Royal Game of Ur.” It has modern rules, because the old ones are lost: similar to Parcheesi.
Don’t take the above essay too seriously. I just thought we ought to have some fun today.
