The Game of Ur

Description
Check out a cool video by The British Museum where they explain some history as well as the rules of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZskjLq040I

Ur is a race game where you try to get your 7 pieces home before your opponent does by rolling dice and moving forward a number of tiles. Land on your opponent to knock them off and enjoy this ancient Sumerian game.

The graphics are simplified and the rules are better explained by the expert himself, Irving Finkel, in the video linked above. (Seriously check it out, awesome video).

Just threw together this mod after watching the video so anyone interested can play the game with their friends using the amazing tabletop simulator!

An excellent rendition of the game! This board is my favourite aesthetically, however, I have some qualms with the dice and the pieces. The dice are a bit incongruent with the rest of the design, they don't really fit the pixellated aesthetic, and I find them hard to read; I replaced them.

I found the pieces to be excellent in aesthetic, but I would prefer that they had something different on the opposite side. Certain variations, aswell as certain ways of marking when a piece has been bore off, are impossible to play or use when the pieces are the same on both sides.

Simplified (older) version of the game. Great for beginners

Pretty good!

Fantastic idea! A great addition to the game. My only suggestion would be to increase the size of the white tips on the tetrahedrons. It is a little difficult to see.
