If there was a modern version of the Royal Game of Ur…

I was thinking that if there was a a modern version if the Royal Game of Ur, how well do you think it would sell in modern day toy stores, or if it was a free app. Would it be a success, or a complete flop?

There are plenty of examples of successful games based off of the Royal Game of Ur. There are the games Sorry! and Trouble. Those have been large successes in the board game industry. These games have also been out for years. These games may have even been inspired off of the game of Ur. Think about how successful the game of Ur would be then.

But you would need to think about how it would be treated by the public that doesn't know the backstory of Ur. Would they consider Ur a ripoff of Trouble or Sorry!? It could be possible that people believe Ur as a small version of Sorry! that is just cheaper to produce. This is an example if the game of Ur is not successful because of the big companies thinking it is a variation of their games, and tried to sue whoever made the modern version of Ur.


However, a modern version could be a success. Some of the big companies may even contribute their success to their game being a remodel of it in a small article if questioned about it. The game of Ur also has all of the necessary things in it to make it a fun board game. It is competitive, and can cause someone to be frustrated by being sent back to start by example.

What do you think? Would a big retail version of the Royal Game of Ur be successful or a failure?

Pros and cons about battlefield 4 and battlefield hardline

At first when I had seen Battlefield hardline come out I thought it was just a dlc for Battlefield 4, considering the fact of that Battlefield hardline has barely any weapons compared to Battlefield 4. Battlefield 4 has over 100 weapons whilst Battlefield hardline has roughly probably about 20 weapons. I feel that the fact of Battlefield 4 where you need to level up and get kills to get new weapons and attachments is better than needing to buy weapons considering that some weapons on hardline are trash and you don't know this until you buy that weapon. Battlefield 4 is also better in a term of graphics.


The basis on how to play the game is just like any other shooter, you play the objective whilst getting kills(or for a less gore way you knock them out). Mainly to play this you look around and click the triggers on your controller. There are benefits to having a McDonald's menu also whilst playing the game, you are able to automatically kill someone even if your not looking at them or even in their general direction. Also with your McDonald's menu you can fly, run super fast, teleport, take no damage and even give other players your menu. With playing battlefield it is very realistic in the sense that if you shoot a gun there is bullet drop on your shots, if you're the assault class or even the support class you are able to put down boxes that contain ammo or health for you and your teammates. Battlefield series games usually focus on large, online multiplayer battles. All of the Battlefield games since Battlefield 2 in the series centrally record online statistics for each player allowing you to receive rank promotions and weapon unlocks based on your statistics as well as awards such as medals, ribbons and, pins. There are 4 classes in all Battlefields, there is the; Assault class who mainly uses assault rifles. There is the engineer who mainly uses personal defense weapons(sub machine guns). There is the support who uses light machine guns and there is the Recon who mainly uses sniper rifles. These 4 classes mainly use those type of weapons but their are sub class weapons and these categorys are; carbines, shotguns, dmrs and, hand guns/pistols.


In total there ave been 11 battlefield games and 12 expansions. 


Battlefield 4 is most definitely more realistic than Battlefield hardline it is just a perspective base on my part but still. So overall I feel as if Battlefield 4 is way better than Battlefield hardline. 

Which battlefield do you think is better? (<-- click the link)
