Games Britannia "Dicing With Destiny"

I recently watched the first part of a three part series of documentaries called "Dicing With Destiny" by Games Britannia, the first part of the documentary covered some interesting topics around the use of games in religious and social practices, especially that of using games as a medium of divination e.g. to predict the outcome of an upcoming battle.

It suggests a worrying amount of our history may have been influenced by people using board games to make important decisions.

Overall the documentary was quite interesting and I am quite likely to watch the latter two parts if the opportunity presents itself.
