This is new to me! I didn't know Romans used dice towers. Excellent!

Roman anti-cheating gaming gadget!

This Roman dice tower was designed to ensure a fair roll of the dice! 🎲🎲🎲

Dice dropped into the top, tumbled over a series of internal ramps, emerging randomly at the bottom.

From Vettweiss-Froitzheim, Germany, AD 300-400
📷 Landesmuseum Bonn

The museum photo shows a rectangular metal Roman dice tower (turricula) standing in 3/4 profile on a light grey surface. The tower was designed for use as an anti-cheating gaming accessory to ensure a fair roll of the dice during dice games. It is made of four copper-alloy (bronze) plates with punched openwork decoration and Latin text. The metal is now dark grey in colour. There is a decorative pine cone finial at each top corner of the front plate. At bottom front is a stepped exit chute with small bronze bells attached to the top of the opening. The steps are flanked on either side by a dolphin. The top of the tower is open, and the inside is hollow except for three staggered, downward-sloping plates, designed to randomise dice as they fall, to ensure unpredictable dice rolls. When the dice rolled out of the bottom of the exit chute they rang the bells! H. 25 cm, W. 10 cm, D 12.5 cm. There is a single die shown next to the stepped exit chute to illustrate how it was used. The front inscription reads: PICTOS VICTOS HOSTIS DELETA LVDITE SECVRI Translated as: ‘The Picts defeated, the enemy has been destroyed, play in safety’. Around the top of the three remaining sides, a second inscription made with cut out letters reads: ‘UTERI/FELIX/VIVAS’ translated as ‘Use happily; may you live well’. Found at a Roman villa site at Vettweiss-Froitzheim, Germany, in 1985. Collections Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn.

Played a couple of games of Farshore today. Set in the Everdell world, this one features a lighthouse and has a distinctly nautical theme, albeit with the usual cute anthropomorphic animals and working placement/tableau building fun. #boadgames

🎲♟️ We played #CritterKitchen for the first time today. At two players, it is enjoyable. I think I will like it more with more. We used the recommended critic for this game and avoided advanced rumors. We'll add them next time and then the cart expansion.
