[edit] Choice of article name
I encountered this game in the pub last night, hence the minimal content. It was introduced to me under the title Alaya (could've been Allaya, Alayah, or similar sound-alike) and claiming that it was Chinese in origin, though I can find no references with search enging using those permuations. I chose the name "Duell" because that's the name of the edition produced by game manufacturer Parker Brothers / Hasbro [1]. Is it known by other names? mattp 20:15, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- In the UK at least, it was first published as 'Conquest', then - to the bemusement of many - 'The George and Mildred Dice Game' (G&M was a sitcom and the only connection between abstract game and programme was the new photo on the cover) Lovingboth 07:44, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Alea (or tabula is it is sometimes called) was a game played throughout the later Roman Empire. This game is derived from the Roman version but is still known as Alea. --Alexander UK 11:35, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
