#1.  UR GAME


The Ur game board is a reproduction of a game board found in Mesopotamia's Biblical city of Ur of the Chaldees.  It is from this city according to ancient scriptures, where God "called" Abraham.  Explorers were unable to locate the city until the 1920's when Sir Leonard Wooley, leading a joint British Museum-University of Pennsylvania expedition unearthed this 5,000 year-old city revealing an advanced pagan civilization and a hoard of treasures.
Handcrafting this game board reproduction from the original display at the British museum was difficult, and it then took years to develop the Ur Game for adults (using strategy) and a second game for children (a race game).  Both versions are for two players and are easy to learn, yet challenging to master.  The Ur Game board is made of handcrafted wood and measures 13" by 5" by 1 3/4".  The game comes with three different types of game pieces which store easily in the hidden drawer at one end of the game board.
#2.  WORLD CUP GAME

Control the destinies of national teams striving to obtain the World Cup, the most coveted soccer trophy on the planet!  The World Cup Game is actually two games in one that allow you to recreate the first World Cup, which was played in 1930, and a recent World Cup played in 2002.  Each player controls a number of teams during the chosen tournament year.  Through the play of cards each player will score goals, press attacks, and run defenses, but penalties, fouls, and offsides can throw off your strategy. As you score goals for your teams you'll also be able to use the power of the match officials to remove goals for infringements. The 1930 game takes about an hour to play, while the 2002 game takes around 3 hours to play. Guide your teams through the rounds to get them as far as possible and hopefully, to the Final itself!  The World Cup Game includes everything you need to play the 1930 and 2002 World Cup games.
