I have wanted to make a Game of Ur board, pieces, and dice for some time. It happened today in an unexpected way. I'm now waiting for my son to try it.

On January 17, 1837, French assyriologist and archaeologist François Lenormant was born. Lenormant recognized, from cuneiform inscriptions, a language now known as Akkadian that proved valuable to the understanding of Mesopotamian civilization 3,000 years before the Christian era.
