RoyalUr.net was started by Padraig Lamont in 2017 as a hobby project. Since then, our community has grown tremendously and many people from it have contributed to this website with feedback and helping to write about the game. We have also now started Rosette Games, a company that is dedicated to hosting and further developing RoyalUr.net. If you'd like to join us to uncover the secrets of this ancient game, come join us on Discord!
Ko-Fi
We provide this website for people to play the Royal Game of Ur entirely for free! We love that, although unfortunately it also means we spend a lot of money on hosting. If you'd like to help us continue to host and develop RoyalUr.net, we would really appreciate any donations through Ko-Fi. A big thank you to all the people who have supported us!
