From Ancient Knucklebones to Digital Screens: A Brief History of Dice

Long before dice were featured in digital browser games, they were among humanity’s very first gaming tools. Archeologists have uncovered ancient dice dating back thousands of years in Mesopotamia and historical Persia. Some historians believe that Native Americans of the Great Plains already used dice over ten thousand years ago.

Ancient Beginnings 

Early dice were not made of plastic or wood, but carved from the bones of animals. In different parts of the world, people used the ankle bones of sheep, goats, or wolves. These were called “knucklebones”. Ancient civilizations used them both for games and for divining the future.

The Standard Six-Sided Die

The six-sided cube with pitted dots (pips) became standard throughout ancient Rome, Egypt, and China. Rules for classic board and dice games began appearing in written history. That’s how we know about early predecessors of games like backgammon.

Dice Games in the Modern & Digital Era

In the 20th century, the commercial production of board and family games popularized dice play across living rooms across thew world. Today, digital technology has brought these games to the screen of your computer and phone, allowing players worldwide to enjoy rolling the dice without ever losing one under the couch.
