Card and dice games have fascinated and entertained mankind for centuries. The earliest known set of cubical dice date back to 700 BC while the use of playing cards were first mentioned in Spain in 1371, with card suits being standardised a century later in France.
The origin of some games still remain unknown, while other firm favourites such as cribbage were being played in their modern form as long ago as the 17th century. Conjuring up scenes from parlour pastimes of the Victorian era to the rowdy saloons of America's wild west, card and dice games have been played everywhere.
Today many games such as craps, pontoon and poker go hand-in-hand with the glitz of Las Vegas, whereas games such as bridge continue to captivate those seeking a test of intellect and are still popular in social clubs throughout the country.
This case with its 64-page instructional booklet is an essential for family and friends who enjoy spending quality time together. The set contains not only the cards, dice and poker dice needed to play all of the games in the book, but also wooden pegging board for scoring in cribbage and a shaker for the dice.
The book covers card shuffling, poker, Mexican stud, blackjack, pontoon, bridge, two-dice games, craps, rotation, cribbage and many others. So deal the cards, roll the dice and enjoy these fun-filled games.
