Games of 21 Combinations

Abstract

Games of 21 Combinations are a group of games of chance, based on the combinations rolled with two six-sided dice. Never as popular as the Game of the Owl or the Game of Seven, with which it shares certain features, Games of 21 Combinations show an great variety of designs from the 16th to 19th century.
