[VALR] Royal Game of Ur

Ur is a game for two players, with 6 pieces each. Each turn, a player rolls four dice (by clicking them), each marked with two white corners, then moves any of their pieces a number of spaces equal to the amount of white corners that are face up. Pieces start on the square closest to the player's pile, then loop around towards one end of the board, down the middle, and up the last two squares to the scoring pile.

The aim of the game is to get all your pieces into the scoring pile, while preventing your opponent from doing the same. If your piece lands on an enemy piece, that piece is sent back to their starting pile and has to start all over again.

There are five rosette squares on the board (they look like flowers). Landing on a rosette gives you another throw of the dice, and the piece on the rosette square is safe from enemy attack.

To score, you must have the exact right die roll. For example, if you're one square away from the scoring pile, you must roll a 1. Rolling a 4 will not work. Additionally, two of your pieces can not occupy the same square.

There will be circumstances under which you can not move at all. If that happens, click the cup to skip your turn.
