Low-stakes dice game. The odds are always in your favor.
Even eternity can be deadly boring. The gods of the pantheon tasked Hades to find them a distraction. Unenthusiastic about his assignment, the King of the Underworld simply gathered what was lying around his realm: four old astragals and a piece of parchment to scribble down some rules. Thus was born Astragalos, the very first game of knucklebones.



This game is designed to teach players about astragals and it will be used in museums and schools in Switzerland.
