Ancient games online

Sinat

This is an ancient Egyptian two-player boardgame using a 3x10-square board and four casting sticks for dice which I programmed myself in Adobe Flash. (Valuable input from readers like you helped a lot!)


Royal Game of Ur

A two-player Babylonian game played on a 20-square board arranged in an unusual form - shaped like an abstract guitar, one might say.

July 7/09 - Currently I've programmed into it only basic functionality. However, this allows one to move pieces and roll the special "binary dice" according to whatever proposed rules of the game one likes. Enjoy. I'll improve on it again soon as I have time.
