Summary
When archaeologist Maya Chen touches a cursed game board in a Mesopotamian tomb, she's pulled into a digital realm where seven billion souls are trapped as pieces in the Royal Game of Ur—and only by mastering its divine dice mechanics through 20 sacred boards can she earn humanity's freedom from gods who designed this reality-rewriting system.

Settings
The Lowest Board
A massive game board carved into obsidian that floats in an infinite void, surrounded by seven billion translucent human silhouettes serving as game pieces. The board's rosette squares glow with divine fire, while safe squares pulse with faint heartbeats.
The Archive of First Moves
A vast digital library where glowing cuneiform tablets float in endless rows, each one documenting every game ever played in the 4,000-year history of the system. The space mimics a Mesopotamian temple but rendered in cold geometric light, with pillars of shifting data cascading like waterfalls.
TheSteward's Court
A perfect geometric chamber where walls, floor, and ceiling consist of living mathematical equations constantly rearranging themselves. At the center floats The Steward's throne—a construct of interlocking polyhedrons that reconfigure based on logical arguments presented before it.
