History
A site like "Astral City" is not a suitable reference for the history of games. Moreover, the "Royal Game of Ur" is a modern name attached to a board found -- nothing about the (original) rules is known. For a history of early board games more and more precise information is needed. The explanation of "board game" is also too simplistic. --Peter Schmitt 00:47, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
