Dice - Small throwable objects with multiple resting positions, used for generating random numbers. One of the oldest traceable game pieces and earliest divination tools in history.

The earliest evidence of dice was found in an Egyptian game called Senet that was played with dice. It was played before 3000 BC and up to the 2nd century AD.

Numbers, counting, and dice have been intrinsically related throughout time.

We are proud to present ANDice.

The BABYLON

The Babylonian cuneiform method of recording quantities is approximately 5000 years old, and it is one of the oldest numeral systems in existence.

The MAYAN

The Mayan system was a base- 20 system (vigesimal) that used a system of bars and dots in a vertical place value system. A dot stood for one, and a bar stood for five.
