Manigaunnat - Toy Bird Gambling Pieces

Post by GamingRAM »

Over the summer (over 6-months ago (yes I know I'm late on this)), I took a trip to Alaska. Here's a suggestion from something I learned while over there.

Manigaunnat, toy-birds used in a type of gambling. You’d “roll” them like dice, and those that fall on their side are considered “dead”. You win by getting the most “kills”.
Made from ivory (possibly another use for bear/beaver teeth?)

Alaska Culture =/= Northern European Culture

Seems out of place, no thanks.
