This Game has no name. For 5,000 years, we forgot it. Archaeologists call it Ur, in honor of the city, where it was discovered. The city where Abraham was born. There is no living person who knows original rules of this game, but we tried to reconstruct them for you. Russian writer and popularizer of board games, Dmitry Skyruk proposed his own ruleset that makes this old game really interesting and unbelievably challenging. Try to play by our rules! Try to win! Believe it or not, it is not as easy!

Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

3 ★Would be a much better game if higher levels of AI weren't just the odds of the rolls being stacked against you. The difficulty feels artificial and makes me greatly dislike the gameplay against AI.
2 ★The game seems fairly solid even if it makes up the rules rather than the traditional/original rules. It's a shame that the 5th level of AI cheats by adjusting it's roll to give more favorable odds to itself
5 ★Okay so like some others have said from what I've learnt of this game there are a couple differences in this version - but heck still really enjoyable. I'd give it a 4.5 rating as it comes really close to the game I'm familiar with and No Ads! That's right people, if you hate capitalism as much as I do you'll be glad to read there's no ads - it's an ad free game and a fun one at that! Also people whining about level 5 - I must have completed it about a dozen times now with more wins than loses. It's not programmed to cheat or get better dice rolls - it's all chance, working out probability and the skill to know where to put your pieces. Don't be sore losers 😅
5 ★Wow, an amazing little game. Very good ruleset, I have tried a couple of others, this is so far the most fun! Hotseat is great, I have yet to get some of my friends into Ur. Couple of suggestions 1) Could you bump the ai difficulty up a little? Even the hardest is not much of a challenge 2) I am missing some of the rules mentioned in game - like that you can not capture the simple figure with the advanced "number 5 figure", had to figure some rules just by analyzing what I can and can not do 3) Online gameplay, players have like 10 seconds after each roll to decide on move, if they fail to act 3 times in a row, they lose. There could be rating system and a ladder of the best players. Good job all in all!
4 ★Fun little addicting game. A special feeling knowing it's supposed age. AI needs improvement though as highest level is beaten on the first run.
4 ★But only 4 stars because there is no option to buy a no ads version, and there is no "quit" option. Please make both available and I would gladly buy it. Also the description says it has 3 music themes, but I see no option to change it. Do they just cycle through as you play?
2 ★A terrible reimagining of the rules. Installed, cranked the difficulty to the max, won my first and only match and don't wanna play even one more match of this misdesigned game where you can only attack the opponent's pieces in an extremely limited handful of prescribed situations unlike in the traditionally held set of rules.
2 ★The rules have been deciphered... These aren't them, and this is unbalanced compared to the original rules. It might have been good at one time, but without including the original rules as an option, this version is lacking.
5 ★Very interesting game, real brain-teaser with no easy tactics. And at the same time, it's sort of a time machine, as this game was invented 4.5 thousand years ago! Fascinating!
5 ★An excellent game. I find the suggestion that the AI cheats on level 5 quite amusing. I win 75% of the time. With solid strategy and good placement, any dice roll will present good moves. Amazing how much complexity can be packed into a seemingly simple game. Thinking about buying a replica of the ancient game board that someone's making via Kickstarter.
5 ★Man I tell ya this type of games just keeps getting better and better! So far this one is the most challenging and I'm loving it! 😁😁😁😁😁
5 ★Before I stumble into the shower I roust the rusty cogs with a round of Ur. It's fast pace is and strategic fun seems to start my day off on a faster beat.
