A wonderful gift and an instant classic, this heirloom dice game is fast-paced fun for 2 or more players. Crafted from eco-friendly and sustainable solid Malaysian Oak hardwood, this version is designed with 12 number tiles bringing more numerical combinations into play. The playing surface is lined with brown velveteen felt for the softest of dice rolls. Also features velveteen felt on the underside of the game to prevent scratches to table top surfaces. Originally, the game was played by fishermen off the coast of Normandy more than two hundred years ago. After a long day at sea, they would squander away their earnings by playing this dice game. It's no wonder the game is still enjoyed in pubs across North America and Europe. While we don't advocate gambling, we do advocate this beautiful, well-constructed game that will provide hours of fun wherever you go. This game also teaches and reinforces addition skills as players roll the dice, add up the values, and then lay down the tiles that have the sum. These simple rules keep the player engaged in computing addition facts while enjoying socializing with friends. Teachers use this game in classrooms and the game's sturdy construction will make it outlast other versions.
