Tali – dates back to Roman times and knucklebones were an ancestor of dice often being the knuckle bones of sheep (or sometimes goats). The Romans would sometimes mark the knuckle bones with different roman numerals I, III, IV and VI. The history of this game makes it great fun to play and the knucklebones are beautifully made. The knucklebones also come with a custom made draw-string bag to store them in.
