Over Christmas, Mr Bait said to me, "Could you easily lay your hands on 4D4?" The ABSOLUTE AUDACITY.
He then introduced me to the oldest #BoardGame on Earth, the #RoyalGameOfUr. I didn't enjoy it much until he suggested we try the blitz rules, which was great fun. And now I have 4 new binary D4 to add to the math rock collection.
@ravenbait the Royal Game of Ur is basically proto-backgammon if I remember correctly... Is that right?
@ravenbait should clarify that I remember it from a copy I bought in the British Museum and not from when I played it five thousand years ago in Ur.
@IanMoore3000 You are Enkidu and ICMFP 😆
@IanMoore3000 I'm not familiar enough with backgammon to say, but that would make sense!
