this coast line we know that <strong>the</strong>y were used in Lista immediately south <strong>of</strong> Jæren, and that<br />
<strong>the</strong> game is still a living tradition in Bergen not far to <strong>the</strong> north <strong>of</strong> Jæren. At some time<br />
a similar game with cat sticks may have been in use on <strong>the</strong> coast area <strong>of</strong> Jæren where<br />
daldøsa is played today, but it is also possible that <strong>the</strong> daldøsa game had a wider distribution<br />
area earlier on. The similarities between <strong>the</strong>se dice sticks and <strong>the</strong> daldøsa dice are<br />
remarkable, and we may suppose that <strong>the</strong>re was a direct relationship between <strong>the</strong>se two<br />
traditions, both recorded for Sou<strong>the</strong>rn Norway, even if not <strong>from</strong> exactly <strong>the</strong> same<br />
regions.<br />
We know actually very little about this subject. This is only a preliminary investigation,<br />
which might hopefully inspire o<strong>the</strong>r scholars to contribute to this little-known<br />
field <strong>of</strong> research.<br />
