love those ancient games. You can create it with just some stones and drawing on the sand.

"Thousands of years.." I've played some bored games that seemed to last that long. Lol. Rainy Saturdays playing Monopoly and Clue. They seemed to go on forever, and that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
I do play chess still but I don't have much time for board games.

Nope, it's not the same playing a computer version of Monopoly (or any other board game).  Part of the fun is moving the pieces around, handling money and deeds, picking up the Chance and Community Chest cards.   Give me the real versions any day of the week.

You made one very grave mistake. The rules for the Royal Game of Ur are known, just ask Dr. Irving Finkel. You know, the Fellow for that rather small establishment the British Museum?
