Generally cubic with 6 sides usually numbered from 1 to 6 and therefore the values of the opposite sides is equal to 7.

Dice have also been used as objects of divination. The Greeks claimed to be the originators of dice.

In Europe, just a few months ago, wearing masks in Japan seemed very exotic. At the beginning of the pandemic in Europe, when masks were scarce and were available at prohibitive prices, many of the citizens, generally the most agile with their hands, made protective masks in a very artisanal way. They were often made with whatever they could get their hands on, without really being sure they had the right technique, nor the right fabric, and the motifs of the masks were of little importance. Sometimes fanciful or even plain without a soul. Today, the price of masks has fallen sharply. With the mask we offer you at a democratic price you will have an authentic protective mask and a design that brings out your personality, your identity, thanks to a graphic like a tribal tattoo. Behind its abstract designs and complex lines the tribal motifs were created thousands of years ago. They evoke the elements of nature (earth, fire, water, air, ocean, sun), animals (turtles, lizards, shark teeth), each with its own symbolism. Power, eternity, purity, immunity, fertility, the values carried by these tattoos are numerous. Ancestral and religious practice at the beginning to become today a fashion phenomenon through the subjects of the tattoos. Ideal gift to emphasize or bring out the ornaments, the motives which enthuse you..

Chinese checkers probably do not come from the Far East, despite their name. On the other hand, Chinese checkers are a variant of the game Halma, a game created in England at the end of the 19th century by the American George Howard Monks, who invented a game called Halma, a name derived from the ancient Greek meaning "jump" but also an ancient pentathlon event.

This first version of the game is played on the grids of a 16x16 square board. The version we know today was adapted under the name Stern-Halma (Halma: star) and patented in 1892 by the German company Ravensburger. This version of the game is played on a star-shaped game board. However, it can be seen that there is a rather similar version on a star-shaped board in Asia...

When the game was first marketed in the United States by the company J.Pressman & Co. under the name "Hop Ching", the expression "Chinese Checkers" was used for the first time. However, this game in its initial square form is still called "Halma" in many countries... Gift idea for playing with the family, a very nice wooden board game gift. Original gift idea for a birthday, or for the end of the year celebrations.   

Protect the First Order! The Elite Praetorian Guard makes sure the great leader is protected. The guards are equipped with red armour and hunt down the rebels with bravery. Star-Wars fans. The elite Praetorian Guards were the guards of Supreme Leader Snoke, serving the First Order during the conflict against the Resistance. They wore red armour and robes reminiscent of the royal guards of Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine. Description The name of the elite Praetorian Guards dates back to the time of the 14th Emperor of the Empire of Atrisia. The Guard consisted of eight sentries divided into four pairs, each wielding unique weapons. Each pair of guards wielded a different weapon: two guards, including the First Guard, wielded the electro-bisento, two others, including the Third Guard, wielded the Bilari electro-chain whip, two others, including the Fifth Guard, wielded the vibro-Arbir and the last two wielded the Vibro-Voulge. They were also trained in several martial arts such as the Bakuuni Hand, Teräs Kasii, Echani and techniques from Nar Kanij. Story The elite Praetorian Guards confront Kylo Ren and Rey after Snoke's death. Serving Supreme Leader Snoke during the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance, the elite Praetorian Guards were often found in Snoke's throne room on the Supremacy. They usually stood behind him and were ready to intervene. Shortly after the Battle of D'Qar, when Kylo Ren went before Snoke and tried to stand up to him, the guards drew their weapons but then decided to put them away after seeing Snoke use Sith lightning on his apprentice. A little later, when Kylo Ren brought Rey to his Master, they again got into a fighting stance when Rey tried to resist Snoke by grabbing Kylo Ren's lightsaber. Finally, they prepared to fight Rey and Ren to avenge Snoke's death, which they had been unable to prevent. A violent duel ensued, during which they demonstrated their considerable combat power. Despite their fierce resistance, all eight Guards were killed by their opponents. The elite Praetorian Guards first appeared in the 2017 film Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Their name was taken from LEGO set leaks on 13 July 2017. The name was confirmed in an interview with Rian Johnson for Entertainment Weekly, in which the director said he was inspired directly by the Roman Praetorian Guard.

The puzzles, an original wooden game gift, are from Greece. The first puzzle game dates back to the third century. This gift idea for teenagers, young people, mothers or men is an unusual gift that can be played alone or in groups. But what is a puzzle? It's a game that starts from a situation that is usually random and disordered and ends in a well-defined order, following predetermined rules. There are different types of puzzles, geometric games (i.e. mathematical games), logogram games, numerical games, card games, so the best-known puzzle is undoubtedly success, etc... But the best-known puzzles are the Puzzle and the Rubik's Cube... The first puzzles were called "Stomachion", a square game divided into 14 parts, which had to be put together in a predetermined order and could be combined in many different shapes. Puzzles were very popular at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Professor Hoffmann published a book with the title: "Puzzles old and new." It described 40 puzzles with all the secret mechanical details. This puzzle book has become a reference for this exciting type of game. Wood is undoubtedly the most suitable material for puzzles, despite the fact that it is easy to work with, such as plastic.

Dominoes can be played almost anywhere, whether they are made of wood or plastic. In the past, dominoes were made of bone or even ivory. So there are many different kinds of dominoes with countless variations, some of which are very amusing.

A domino is made up of simple blocks that can be combined and assembled in many ways from very simple to very complex. It is a game that requires and demands a lot of skill and strategy. There are Chinese, English and European dominoes....

Archaeologists have reportedly found dominoes in ancient Egypt and among the Arabs, but the origin of the domino is attributed to China around the 12th century. Dominoes first appeared in Europe in Italy in the 18th century and from that time onwards they spread throughout Europe.

Dominoes became the most played game in living rooms, pubs and families, becoming one of the most popular games. Dominoes are played by 2 or 4 people with 28 blocks. Each block is divided in two on the top side and has numbers (but not always), sometimes the same, but often different, but always unique.

The principle of the game is to take turns following a pattern with your blocks, block by block, trying to match the identical face of your block to the identical face of the competitor's block. When a player cannot place a domino, he picks a piece and passes his turn.

The winner is the one who has placed all his dominoes.

This giant domino is a classic game gift, an original gift idea for a birthday or an unusual gift for the holidays.

How many celebrations, birthdays and other sad events we would miss without candles. Candles were invented a long time ago. Back in the days of candles and oil lamps, before the 19th century.

In the old days, lighting was limited to candles, oil lamps and torches. These sources of light were expensive, dangerous to fire and inefficient. People relied on natural light and candles to illuminate their surroundings. In the Middle Ages, candles were a luxury reserved for the rich, while commoners often found themselves in darkness as soon as the sun went down.

For a long time, candles have been used for lighting purposes, consisting of a fatty substance (wax) and a wick to be lit.

“Long ago in a far, far away galaxy”, little hairy birds called porgs lived on the planet Ahch-To, an ocean world dotted with small islands, without a single continent.

The Porg and its inimitable cry is undoubtedly the star of the trailers for the eighth episode of the intergalactic saga Star Wars, The Last Jedi, The Porgs were imagined to mask the cries of the puffins that inhabit Skellig Michael, the Irish island on which the scenes were filmed, as digitally erasing the puffins' cries would have been extremely labour intensive.

This adorable little bird lives in nests on the cliffs by the sea and feeds on fish that it hunts in the sea. It has thick plumage and webbed feet, no beak, but a flat nose and forward-facing eyes. The babies, called Porglets, are fed by the parents until they are old enough to fend for themselves. 

Inspired by both puffins and penguins, it was the director of The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson, who came up with the name of the Porg, and its appearance is memorable and fleeting.

Extremely cute, the Porgs are a huge hit with children, a cuddly gift idea for the little ones and star wars best gifts for fans who like to collect characters from the saga.

His phrasing, i.e. in the use, original placement, word order and the "object, subject, verb" system which is only used in very few spoken languages. For example, Yoda says”:Mind what you have learned. Save you it can.” “Always pass on what you have learned.”, “When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not.`` ''Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.” Here are some examples of the famous cult replicas of this character created thirty-seven years ago!
