This guide also includes tips on winning and how to avoid being tricked by loaded or “crooked” dice.

Excerpt from On American Lot-Games, as Evidence of Asiatic Intercourse Before the Time of Columbus In this manner a simple lot-game like tdb may have given rise to the dice-game which prevails with so great similarity across the world that ordinary European names may be used for it almost indifferently, such as tables, trictac, backgammon. Its introduction may be assigned to Western Asia, probably to Persia, Where it was known at the time of artaxerxes, and flourishes still under the name of nard. It is needless to discuss its later history here, but attention should be drawn to a point which touches the present enquiry. While the dice-game is common to the Eastern and Western worlds, so that an Icelander could easily play backgammon with a Japanese on an ancient Roman board the lot-game which seems to have preceded it spread east rather than west. At any rate if any game like tab or pachisi played with two-faced lots ever reached Western Europe, it is not commonly known, nor recorded in ordinary books on the history of games. In new examining the American games, it will be seen that this bears forcibly, though not indeed conclusively, on the question whether these correspond more closely with games belonging to Asiatics or to Europeans.
