## What is Ur Coach?

The Royal Game of Ur is a two-player strategy game first played in ancient Mesopotamia. Ur Coach lets you play against the computer or another human player (by pass-and-play). The computer implements a mathematically optimal strategy. You can learn a lot about the game by watching how the computer AI plays. When playing against the computer, you also have the option of displaying a detailed analysis of your available moves. With a little practice under the watchful eye of the coach, you will become the Ur champion of your family and friends. Even experienced players may be surprised by how much they can learn. The app is free and ad-free.
