About the Game
A traditional Anishinaabe Board Game. Bagese (or the bowl game) is a Native American dice game played by the Ojibwe. The word Bagese is the participle form of the verb "to throw" in the Ojibwe language. It is in reference to the dice going in the air. It is usually played either by two individuals, or by two sets of players. This game is usually played for amusement. However, it was known to be a game for gambling as well. Bagese is played using eight counter of bone carved into various shapes (men, snakes, war clubs, fish, and ducks). These are thrown from a bowl and a score is derived from the way in which they fall, depending on which sides land uppermost.
