## About this game

One of the oldest board games ever found, played in ancient Mesopotamia. Roll the dice, move your pieces along the board, knock your opponent's pieces back to the start, and land on rosettes for an extra turn. First to get all pieces home wins. Play against the computer or a friend, with the rules explained as you go.
