A special bone die based on a specific find from York, 

The die is rectangular and has 6 sides, each side is numbered, with dots, from 1 to 6. On the ends are numbers 2 and 4. Which makes it a very special die. It also makes it very difficult to get exactly 2 and 4. But it is actually possible. We don't know what kind of game the Vikings played with this die, nor if it was good or bad to get these particular numbers.

The Vikings played many different games. Of them, many seem to have been with dice, at least if you go by the amount of dice you find during excavations. In York, a variety of different types of dice have been found, all of which differ in shape and execution. Many of them have not been symmetrical and it does not seem to have been so important to the Vikings. Maybe it's because people believed in fate and therefore had a different attitude to the concept of luck than they have today.
