No Dice

   Dice (singular: die), are small cubes commonly used in chance portions of games, especially board games. They are mostly used in pairs. A dice is a six-sided cube with dots expressing the numerals one through six on each side. The numeral expressed is represented by the number of dots on a specific side.
   A dice is used by being "rolled" or tossed and bounced around until they become still. The number on the very top is used for the player. This process is done completely by chance.
   During the siege of Troy, the Greek man Palamedes was probably the inventor of dice. But even before this, around 6000 BC, dice were found in Egyptian tombs.
   It was once believed in ancient times that dice results were from the gods. Egyptian pharaohs have been proven to use dice for games, as well as the Romans and Greeks.
   Dominoes may have been the ancestor of dice, as the Chinese created dominoes from the looks of dice.
   From board games to gambling to fortune telling, dice have become a fundamental part of entertainment.
