The Royal Game of Ur

Description
The Royal Game of Ur, also known as the Game of Twenty Squares, refers to an ancient game represented by two gameboards found in the Royal Tombs of Ur in Iraq by Sir Leonard Woolley in the 1920s. The two 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, although Senet boards found in Egyptian graves predate it as much as 900 years. 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.

Good board, only thing is the texture on the dice was a bit hard to see also they dont seem to be of the same size. However did enjoy nethertheless good work with it!

I love your board and checkers. However hasd to import and custom save some dice from another set as your dice are not a "Regular tetrahedron" One triangle seems to be larger than the others on one face. Making the dice favor nill white dots.

I think you don't have to rework the texture that much (maybe make the white dots whiter), playing with specular sharpness and fresnel reflection sliders in the material option of the object is enough because the only problem is that the reflection looks like a white dot.

Here is a screenshot of diferent results I get (and I overdid it so it might be too much). The one pointed by the finger is the original.

Yeah, I can likely agree to that Vega :) I am still learning about modeling and it took me forever to seam rip them to texture them right. Maybe I will look at the files tomorrow to adjust the textures.

Dice work fine, but they are a little bit hard to read.

I am so glad people seem to be enjoying this game! I found this game on Second Life and when I started to get into tabletop and modeling, I wanted to continue to play it on here. I am sad some people don't seem to find the dice working, I never had issue with them. We had found though that either shaking them or multiple clicks works best :) However, they are shaped like images I have seen.

Well...Lycake stated the very video that made me come here.

The dice don't seam to be perfect, i'm not sure if its intentional but the dice are shaped in a way so that they will more likely land on null.
