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!
Features:
- Perfectly balanced rules and dynamic gameplay
- Ancient game in a new design
- Comfortable controls
- Unique Sumer style menus and dialogs

I've really enjoyed playing against the AI, which gives the impression of being a real opponent. I'm just finishing making a playing board and pieces as I think the game deserves the respect of being played with real equipment. The family will get tired of being asked to play against me! Thanks again for the app which has taught me the tactics.

Amazing reconstruction of a long forgotten game. The UI is smooth and intuitive. The AI is well balanced both AI and human person feel like they can win. I like the rule set better here than the Irvine Finkel rules. Easy to play but difficult to master and plenty of strategy. If you enjoy any type of board game ie backgammon, chess, senet, you will love this.

Love the rules! Very complex, strategic, and plausible. Allows deep and unique gameplay. Could have used some setup/tutorial, since you're just thrown in blind. It would also be nice to have online or co-op play for the ultimate challenge! Still fun to play, and ad free! I can definitely imagine some ancient lords betting their cattle and lands over this game...
