The Royal Game of Ur

Roll the four tetrahedral dice; the number of marked corners (0–4) is how many squares you may advance one piece.

Pieces enter from your start area, travel along your row, then through the shared middle row, then out via your end row. You must roll exactly to bear a piece off.

Land on a rosette (the star squares) to take another turn. Pieces on the central rosette are safe; landing on an opponent's piece on a shared square sends it back to start.

First player to bear off all four pieces wins.
