Interesting Bill, thanks for that.

History of Dice article says:

"Dice are the oldest gaming implements known to man."

AND

"Of course games have been played with dice from their early beginnings. The first were probably simple racing games and have been lost to history."

That article is here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dice-play/History.htm

and another article on Polyhedral Dice, used in RPGs and CDGs today, is here:
