Board Games
Playing The Royal Game of UR
For many decades, the rules for the Royal Game of Ur were unknown. The board and pieces were discovered in Iraq in the 1920s, but no one knew how to play. It has long been speculated that it is the predecessor of modern backgammon.
Now, thanks to deciphering a table, Irving Finkel of the British Museum thinks he has the rules. Videos below:

Board Game Finder
Board Game Finder is a neat website that lets you enter some games that you like, and returns a list of games it thinks you would like. I entered several games I own and really like: Concordia, Clans of Caledonia, Voyages of Marco Polo, Blood Rage, and Istanbul. The site suggested that I try Orleans (which I already know I like), Five Tribes (which I have played and liked) and a lot of others. Reading the reviews of the games on the suggestion list, I think it’s on target.
