{"product_id":"the-ur-board-book","title":"The Ur-Board Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe UR-BOARD is a priceless treasure from ancient Sumer. Discovered in the ruins of the city of Ur, where it had lain for 4.5 thousand years, it pre-dates the Bible by centuries. Yet when interpreted by a contemporary symbolist, it displays a knowledge of human life and history that is characteristically modern. Primarily a game board, with dice and markers, it is also a beautiful art object, or art ÒformÓ; a paradigm of human wisdom, based on the design of the human body; a mathematical and geometrical standard, with a symbolic Òmagic numberÓ board; and a prophetic Òstructure,Ó that speaks to us about our historical and religious traditions. As a modern game board, it offers a unique series of movement and placement games, that can be played by two initiates in an hour or so, as a cult-experience among friends. Discover for your self the joys of learning from and playing with an Ur-board. And enjoy contemplating the vision of a future world as it is revealed by the UR-BOARD BOOK.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walt Darring","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44388786012321,"sku":"9780557494903","price":32.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1qznmj9j-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1748208040","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/the-ur-board-book","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
