How do you play the roman boared game twelve lines?
The name od the game was Duodecim Scripta, which means "Twelve Lines." The board had 24 cases on 2 rows of 12 cases each. Two players sat across from each other and placed their 15 black or white pieces (presumably stacked) on the first square on their side of the board. They each tossed a set of three dice from a cup and moved their pieces according to the value of the throw. The pieces were like the lathed bone roundels. The pieces were distinguishable by the fact that they were often inscribed on the back with the owner's name or initials. The colours were bone-white, blue or black. Some red or yellow pieces have been found. The object was to get all your pieces across the board to the final square. If you landed on a square that had the opponent's piece on it, that piece would return square one.
