Twenty Squares, or the Royal Game of Ur, a strategy/race board game. dating from at least 2600BCE. The oldest game boards were found in the tombs of Ur in Iraq in the 1920s. While the ancient rules are still fuzzy, two players race around the board to see who can bring all their stones home before the other, with some surprises along the way. - No ads and no in-app purchases! - 1 or 2 players This version currently implements the simple route and rules of the game, perfect for kids and beginners to the game. Some reviewers have suggested that the dice rolls are rigged when playing the AI. The dice rolls are not fudged in any way! Part of the allure of Twenty Squares is that you can't predict the winner until the very end of the game, as one bad roll can change the outcome completely. Feedback/reviews are welcome to help future development. Some things on the go: - GameCenter support to play with people around the world - better AI - more race routes and special squares
