Detail from the Tablet of Shamash, from ca. 888-855 BCE. It is a stone relief in Assyrian style with cuneiform writing on it. On the right is a male figure seated on a throne, probably the sun god Shamash. On the left is a group of three standing figures, perhaps worshippers. In the middle between them is the sun disc (a circle with a four-pointed star and four rays) above a table or altar.

This game is very unfair and unbalanced and there's no way to win*, so all you can do is hope to survive one more year at a time. JUST LIKE REAL LIFE, EH? Good luck. * Actually that's a lie, there is one way to win. Let me know if you find it and I'll give you a cookie. (Maybe.) 3/4

'Artist’s impression of a hall in an Assyrian palace' by Sir Austen Henry Layard. A very colourful drawing of a large hall with wall painting and two statues of lammasu (human-headed winged bulls). In the middle is a group of people, probably a king surrounded by his advisors and scribes.

As king of a vaguely Sumerian/Akkadian city state, you have One Job: Perform the annual sacrifices to the gods. The gods are EXTREMELY ANGRY and will destroy the world if they're not regularly appeased, and since all the other city states do their sacrifices incorrectly, it's all up to you. 2/4

Stone relief of two Mesopotamian kings greeting each other. Ca 845 BCE. From the throne dais of Shalmaneser III at the Iraq Museum in Baghdad.
