History records show that during the ancient times, dice were used as magical implements and divination tools to make predictions.
Before the emergence of the six-sided dice that we are familiar with nowadays, people in the ancient times used pebbles, stones, and sticks when playing games. Ankle bones or knuckle bones of hoofed animals were later used both in games and fortune-telling. Other materials such as wood and ivory were used to make dice.
There are dice variations which are not cubical in shape. Tetrahedron, octahedron, and dodecahedron are some of them.
