This game was among some odds and ends that I inherited from my grandfather. I'm not sure what game it is, but I find all the markings on the dice really interesting!

I like your perspective. We call them 'poker dice' but not sure if that's really what they are called.

sally is right. those are poker dice. i don't play poker but the ex had them in ancient times.

A favourite game with my older brother-in-law, I was brought up on it! We called it Max and Jacks.

strange how the wallet for them sort of copies the shape of the dice. lovely shapes.

[Dione Giorgio]

Never seen dice like these. They must be part of some cards game. I like the composition in this shot and that wallet to keep the dice in.

Thank you so much to one and all! I just love 365- all these years of not knowing what they were and now I have a plethora of information! Mystery solved. Thanks for all the views, comments and favs- much appreciated!

Lovely BW shot. Nice composition. My grandparents had a game that I think looked like this one. I did not understand their game either.
