[Games] Victorian Family Dice CAF
This is intended to focus on the Victorian middle-class, mostly because I couldn't figure out a clear way to include the lower- and upper-class in the game. Apologies if this turns out to not be all too historically accurate, I tried my best - and it's a game, after all!Use the six-sided die: http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks1/maths/dice/Have fun!DH's Occupation
