A special bond is based on a specific finding from York,
The dice is rectangular and has 6 pages, each side is numbered, with dots, from 1 to 6. At the ends are numbers 2 and 4. Which makes it a very special tension. It also makes it difficult to get 2 and 4. But it is actually possible. What kind of game the Vikings played with this dice, we don’t know, nor whether it was good or bad to get those numbers.
The Vikings played many different games. Of them, many seem to have been with dice, iaf if one is to proceed from the amount of dice one finds during excavations. In York, a variety of dice are found, all of which differ in shape and performance. Many of them haven’t been symmetrical, and it doesn’t seem that important to the Vikings. Perhaps that’s because you believed in destiny and that’s why you had a different attitude toward the concept of luck than you have today.
