Prehistoric beginnings
People used animal knucklebones (“astragali”) as early four-sided randomisers.

First six-sided dice (~3000 BCE)
In ancient Mesopotamia, roughly cubical bone or stone dice appear.

Classical era
Greeks and Romans polished bone or bronze dice, and gambling games became widespread.

Medieval & Renaissance Europe
Dice-making got more precise—wood and ivory cubes with rounded edges—and churches often tried to ban gambling.

Industrial age
19th-century plastics and mass production gave us uniform, cheap dice; casinos later added strict quality controls.

Modern hobby dice (post-1970s)
Role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons introduced many new shapes (d4, d8, d10, d12, d20), and today you can find dice in all kinds of materials and styles.
