Dice

Dice games and dice of various forms were known since the first age.They were unknown to the Eldar, who had no word for them in any of their languages, but had been known to the men of Beleriand.Some Scholars believed that dice had been originally by the dwarves and were played by them with beutifully carved gems as a game of skill, while others argued that the game of dice derived from oracle bones of the first superstitious and primitive men of the east, some truth may lie in each of both theories, but as a matter of fact various games of dice had been known since at last the late first age throughout most of the westlands.
