The two found boards date from the First Dynasty of Ur, before 2600 BC, thus making the Royal Game of Ur one of the oldest examples of board gaming equipment found. The Ur-style Twenty Squares gameboard was also known in Egypt as Asseb, and has been found in Pharaoh Tutankhamen's tomb, among other places. Discovery of a tablet partially describing the gameplay has allowed the game to be played again after over 2000 years.\n\n# Starting up\n\nThe game currently requires the free asset [TextMesh Pro](https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/84126), available on the Unity Asset Store.
