The aforementioned pamphlet, "Delights of Life in Fifteenth-Century England"
mentiones a dice game called "raffle", supposedly played in the 15th c. with
three dice and sourced to the book I inquired about, McLean, Teresa, _The
English at Play in the Middle Ages_ (Windsor Forest: Kensal Press, 1983)
Has anyone ever heard if this game? I've been seeking pre-17th century
dice games and have exhaused known online resources and lots of printed
ones.
