π Summary
Archaeologists recently found gaming pieces and dice from a Mongol invasion shipwreck near Takashima Island. These discoveries suggest that sailors engaged in leisure activities during voyages. The ship may measure around 30 metres, potentially the largest of three identified wrecks. Other artefacts discovered nearby include food containers and tools indicative of daily life aboard the ship.
