Additional info:

Royal Game of Ur is a race board game. Each player has seven pawns, and three dice each with two red and two white vertices.

The goal is to introduce the seven pawns, to move them along your designated path, and to be the first to have all the pawns out of the game, similar to backgammon.

Royal Game of Ur was well known during Biblical times. The discovery by Sir Leonard Woolley of four boards dating back more than 4,500 years (three of them complete) makes UR the oldest known complete board game found anywhere in the world.

During excavation of the "Royal Cemetery" in the city-state of UR in Mesopotamia, four boards which varied from simple to fine workmanship were found in tombs which date primarily to the Early Dynastic IIIA period (around 2600-2500 B.C.E.).

Stoneware Info:

Ceramic or pottery refers to a process of forming, firing or baking, and glazing or decorating a mixture of clay and other materials, then refiring it to harden the glaze.

The three ceramics are earthenware, stoneware and porcelain.

Stoneware is made from a particular type of clay that is fired at high temperatures, generally up to 2,372 °F (or 1,300 °C).

Stoneware, named after its dense stone like quality after firing, is tougher and more durable.
