​4 December is National Dice Day all across the world.

Dyce form part of many games we play and there are games that are played with only the dyce, so to celebrate National Dyce Day, choose your favourite and play!

Dyce are typically thrown onto a flat surface, either from a dice cup or the hand. To determine the value of the throw, the value of the numbers on the uppermost face of the dye, after it has landed, is calculated. A popular dyce game is called ‘craps’ – where a bet is placed on the total value of the throw of the dyce. Dyce – which are frequently used in board games – randomise the moves of a player, by determining the distance a piece will move on a board. Popular board games using this method include Monopoly and backgammon.

The origin of dyce is uncertain but they’ve been around for thousands of years. At an archaeological site in South Eastern Iran, called Burnt City, the oldest known dye was excavated. It was believed to have formed part of a 5 000-year-old backgammon game.

Dyce were originally made from the talus (ankle bones) of hoofed animals. Other materials used include wood, ivory and plastic.

To celebrate today, get your friends and family together and enjoy your favourite game using dyce.
