Irving Finkel: The Magic of Ancient Games

In the 16th century CE, the most remarkable document was composed in the form of a hymn to the goddess Ishtar. This composition lists all the games of every type played by boys and girls. In the following centuries, other lists of games were made and by comparing, startling discoveries ensue.

Don’t miss the chance to hear the person who discovered the rules for the Game of Ur. If you’re not a groupie yet, you soon will be!
