The Game-of-Ur board is a piece of recreation furniture that provides cerebral recreation when used by colonies, as well as small trickle of Intellectual skill experience.

It is the "New Tribe" equivalent to the Chess table

Acquisition

Game-of-Ur boards can only be constructed by "New Tribes". They require  35 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 350 for SMVs) and 6,000 ticks (1.67 mins) of work.

They are also available from Tribal traders and as quest rewards. "Industrial" start colonies can never construct 'Ur boards, instead only chess tables (and vice versa for Tribal start colonies).

Summary

Must have chairs directly adjacent to it to be used by colonists. Sometimes a colonist will play alone to 'practice'. The game-of-Ur improves the player's Intellectual skill at a meager rate.

Analysis

The Game-of-Ur board provides an abysmal 80% recreation power, the lowest of any recreation building in the game. Replace the game-of-ur board with a Chess table or, better yet, a poker table as soon as possible. The only good use for the board is to provide a secondary recreation type for tribal players (along with a hoopstone ring), or as a cheap recreation for prisoners since you probably don't care how long it takes them to get their recreation. Once a colony has access to chess tables, old 'Ur boards should be recycled to prison wards, sold, or deconstructed.

It also provides only 3/4 of the Intellectual skill XP as the chess table.
