Tabannusi: Builders of Ur

About this board game

Tabannusi: Builders of Ur is a board game for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 120 minutes. Set in ancient Mesopotamia, it challenges players to help build the Great City of Ur while establishing themselves as powerful builders.

The game features a striking board divided into five regions, each connected to a specific color die. These regions include three building districts, one temple district, and one port district. Each turn, your worker activates one district, creating a careful puzzle of timing and resource management.

When you activate a district, you must first take a die from it. The die becomes a resource matching its color, while its value determines which district your worker activates on the following turn. Choosing when and where to act is essential, especially as the available dice change throughout the game.

• Building districts: Expand construction sites and turn them into buildings that score valuable victory points.
• Temple district: Exert influence to earn the favor of the king.
• Port district: Obtain ships with important abilities and opportunities to score victory points.

Every action contributes to your growing presence across Ur, but you must also watch the overall timing of the game. The moment a district is emptied of dice, a scoring occurs, making each resource choice and activation an important part of your plans.

With its interconnected districts, colored dice, construction opportunities, temple influence, and ship abilities, Tabannusi: Builders of Ur offers a focused challenge centered on building, planning, and making the most of every turn.
