If you play more than one of my Ancient Games, I suggest you delete the individual apps and install the main one (Ancient Games). It will allow you to play them all and save disk storage.

The past is full of fascinating board games that haves been mostly forgotten. The Ancient Games collection aims to resurrect them as a meticulously crafted mix between what a player wants from an historical game and what he/she expects of a modern application.

-Play against the IA, friends and random players from around the world.
-Play Online & Offline.
-Multiple collectibles : boards, game pieces, dice, nameplates, etc.
-Challenges (Fun rule variants)
-Free cloudsave across the collection : your progress in one game is available in all the others.
-Much more features to come!
-Languages : English, French, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Spanish, German, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Russian.

Currently, the collection is comprised of four games : the Royal Game of Ur, Senet, XII Scripta and Puluc, but 40 games are in the works!
Each game will be added to the Ancient Games app and will have its own individual app as well.

Fun game and excellent app! Local pass and play option for playing with friends. A wonderful piece of history to interact with. It was lost to the world for nearly 2 millennia, and, just a few years ago, the instructions were found. So, play this, and imagine a couple of people drinking beer and playing it in a tavern along one of the streets of Babylon.

I was stuck between a 4 and a 5... I would have loved to say 4.9! Nothing is perfect, but I get a lot of enjoyment out of this game. There are some circumstances where I have (in similar circumstances) correctly predicted the exact sequence of rolls that the opposing (AI or algorithm) player will get ... repeatedly, strike that, REGULARLY. But I still enjoy the game, and I find that it's UI is pretty good, sensible. I really like that I see the author very involved here.

I've been playing this game on my PC for a couple of years now and I absolutely love it. Graphics are good and no lagging and no ads during game play thus far. Thanks for making the android version. I also downloaded ancient games version as well and look forward to learning some more games similar to Ur.
