Rules of the game

It's the ⚪white team versus the ⚫black team.

The first team to 🚀ascend all 7 of their pieces 👑wins. Your goal is to achieve that, and to block the other team from doing the same.

(Learn more about the rules of the Royal Game of Ur at RoyalUr.net/learn, or watch Tom Scott play against Irving Finkel in 2017.)

Movement

Each turn starts by rolling 4 binary dice, which results in a number from 0 to 4. The current team gets to move one of their pieces by that many tiles.

All 14 pieces start on position 0 (the space just before tile 1).

🚀Ascension

Moving a piece onto position 15 (the imaginary space after tile 14) causes that piece to leave the board forever. This is 🚀ascension, and is the goal of the game — the first team to ascend all 7 of their pieces wins.

⚔️Capturing

You will move your pieces along the tiles from tile 1 to tile 14.

The tiles on your side of the board (tiles 1 through 4, 13, and 14) are safe — only your pieces can be there. However, the tiles in the middle (tiles 5 through 12) are unsafe — your opponent's pieces can also be here. If one team's piece lands on the same tile as another team's piece, the piece that was landed on is ⚔️captured! It goes all the way back to position 0.

🏵️Rosettes

If a piece lands on a 🏵️rosette (tiles 4, 8, and 14), that team gets to immediately take another turn.

A piece that is on the rosette on tile 8 cannot be ⚔️captured. A piece trying to capture it will simply bounce off onto tile 9.

How to play

Playing Ur on my GitHub profile is easy. The dice have already been rolled for you — all you have to do is decide what to do with them. Anyone with a GitHub account can play.

Anyone can join either team at any time, but once you're in a team, you're locked into it until the game ends. You won't be able to play a move when it's the other team's turn.

The list of links below the board image shows each possible move. Clicking one of those will take you to a page where you can create an issue in this repository, where all you have to do is click submit to play your move.

It will take a moment for Github Actions to acknowledge your move, but once it does, you'll see it react with the 'eyes' emoji (:eyes:). A few seconds later it will react with the 'rocket' emoji (:rocket:) to let you know that your move was successful, then leave a comment explaining what happened, and it'll also make a commit to record your move.

(If you don't see any of that, then something went wrong. Ping me in your issue by typing cc @rossjrw, and I'll take a look.)

Note that if your team has no possible moves — for example by rolling a 0 — your turn will be automatically skipped. The event log will let you know if this has happened.
