What is the history of dice games and how old are they as a form of entertainment?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice
An extremely old form of human activity, dating to before the dawn of human history. All concepts of how the practice originated are, therefore, purely speculative. They may have been used for divination, entertainment or perhaps some other form of activity, originally, and probably the first dice were bones of some type — thus “casting the bones”.
They were used in games by the ancient Egyptians and many other early cultures from the dawn of human history. The ancient Romans were great gamblers with dice.
Playing cards and dominoes developed from dice and games played with dice, first, in China.
