Parlor games were already known to the ancient Egyptians – the prototype of today's checkers found its way into the tomb of, among others, Tutankhamun. For the ancient ruler, this game was clearly something he wanted to continue in the afterlife, and we can fully understand this passion.

Over time, games have evolved, taking the form of board games, strategy games, and adventure games, among others. However, the familiar games like "ships" or even "tic-tac-toe" require nothing more from players than a piece of paper and a pencil. When we add a dice to the mix, we're limited only by our own imagination. Playing together fosters creativity and strengthens bonds, and among the youngest players, it positively impacts emotional and social development. It also provides a wealth of fun and a completely different experience than even the best computer game.

The name refers to the maximum number of sides found on polyhedral dice, and the pencil with hard graphite is simply perfect for recording game results.
