Great idea and implementation, especially given the time constraints! Though I may be biased since I'm a huge fan of all things Mesopotamian XD

I too watched the British museum video and wanted to try playing this with a friend, so thank you for making this possible :)

I echo other people's suggestions of adding a tutorial. Another small recommendation (even if it's not historically accurate) is to make the rosettes a different color. For new players, it's a bit confusing that those let you roll twice while the other symbols on the board are purely decorative.

I'd also watched that video from the British museum, I can't believe you managed to make a full video game out of it (more so in only two days)! The implementation is really impressive and the graphics and sound are cute. The only downside I can see is that it is a bit complicated to understand for a jam, but it sure is a solid game, congrats.

Thank you for making this game, i saw that video you talk about a couple years ago and set out to make it, but never actually did. I played a little, the audience sound effects could use some improvement and maybe the presentation as well. Playing it alone against yourself is quite weird, but i can see how it'd be hard to make a challenging ai in this short time.  Hope you keep working on it, good idea to use it for the jam and good job.

Always cool to see board games reimplemented as video games, +1 for remaking a classic. Good job :)

It's probably the first entry in the jam without a visible dice :-D I saw the same video years ago and fell in love with the game for a while so you definitely hit that nostalgic feeling for me and I thoroughly enjoyed playing it (even alone)

The game is a bit rough, I think the first steps to make it more juicy would be to show the dice rolls, add some movement to the pieces and some sound effects, maybe show the saved pieces on the table could be cool.

I also like the tavern atmosphere background and you brought back some memories, good job!

As far as I can tell this is an excellent computer game implementation of this game

Had never heard about this board game till now! Watched the vid of the trailer you linked in the description, really interesting stuff. Was nice to then play it myself, good job

This is super cool, I really like the idea of porting old (semi-obscure) games to the video game format. Would be very interested to try out an AI mode once it's developed, as playing against yourself isn't quite the same!

A very chistorically involved entry! 🧮 ❤️ The implementation is very impressive with display of awailable moves and working 2 player match with changing perspective. Whoaaaa. I know that the game did originally look like that but it might be a good UX idea to mark end destination for both players, for ease of explaining. Loved the TL;DR tho xD

I had no other player at hand, but I played a match between two competing strategies (one favouring as many pieces as possible on the board and one more interested in moving the already furthest piece even further), and it was a very close match in the end, with the losing player only having one piece still on the board about 3 tiles from the end.

I think there’s a bug where it says the wrong player won though… brown still had a piece on the board (blue won the game) and it says ‘Player 1 has won!’

I have no idea how to play this game but I like clicking things and big +1 for supporting multiple players too :D

Interesting, good job

Oh shit I remember watching about this on youtube amazing that you thought to make it into a board game 

Nicely done! One small critique: a sweet music might be better that an ambiant sound. The game is well implemented, I don't understand all the rules yet, but it's interesting!
