An Overdue Invention

Carmelyn Calvert, Inventor 1956 - 2015

Dice have been around for more than 6,000 years, and playing cards for nearly 1,000 years! They're the foundation of so many games that we know and love.

Carmelyn Calvert had the idea to combine these two game systems into one, but she knew that a special arrangement of the cards on the dice was necessary so all the key hands for Poker, Rummy, and other card games could be rolled.

She figured out the arrangement in one night, creating the World's First Deck of
Dice! Carmelyn lived to see her patent issued, and the team at DECK of DICE Gaming is working hard to honor her legacy by bringing her dice to life through a variety of exciting games.
