Long Description:
Helping bring history back to life. Recreates the Knucklebones game of gambling as the Romans used to play it. Knucklebones is the ancestor to dice, before there were dice. The Romans would sometimes mark the knuckle bones with different roman numerals on each side, I, III, IV, and VI. The roman numerals would then be used to score the throw of the bones. Roman soldiers would spend many hours gambling with their pay playing these games. A micro role-playing game has been added to the historic base game, in which each player selects a historic character from 1000 AD to play. Each character is given a rich background and a set of powers and capabilities to help them win. Are you feeling lucky? Are the gods with you tonight?
