Dice are small, typically cube-shaped objects with numbered sides used in various games and activities. They are commonly used in board games, role-playing games and educational activities.

Different types of dice can enhance your gaming experience by providing variety and adding new elements to gameplay. Specialty dice can also be used for educational purposes, probability experiments, and creative projects.

Choosing the right dice depends on the game you are playing. Consider the number of sides (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20), material, size, and design that best fit your needs. Some games require specific types of dice, so check the game rules for recommendations.

To care for your dice:

• Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep them in protective cases or pouches to prevent damage.
• Handle them with clean hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt.
• Regularly clean them with a soft cloth and mild soap if needed.

Dice come in various types, including:

• Standard six-sided dice (D6)

To check if your dice are balanced:

• Roll the dice a large number of times and record the results.
• Analyze the distribution of results to see if each side appears approximately the same number of times.
• Float test: Place the dice in a cup of water with a bit of dish soap. Balanced dice will float evenly without favoring any particular side.
