Irving Finkel, the curator of the cuneiform inscriptions in the British Museum, and an ancient games historian, does a playthrough of the Royal Game of Ur with a YouTuber, Tom Scott, who never played this game before. They play according to Finkel’s rules, which in my opinion, are nowhere near as exciting as Dmitriy Skiryuk’s rules, but nevertheless still interesting to watch.
Very enjoyable. Seeing a virgin discover the pleasure of a battle schooled by the master.
I would buy one of these games!
I sent you an email.
