Tips

register
博器 is a rare/literary term - here is the classical of 博弈 ('gambling/games of chance', also chess and Go). 博器 referred to the dice, counters, and boards used in ancient Chinese gambling games like 六博 (an extinct two-player race game). Modern Chinese uses 赌具 for gambling tools.
memory
Don't confuse this ('gamble/game') with the of 博物馆 ('museum') = 'broad/extensive'. Same character, two senses - context decides which.
