I’m a big fan of the Dice Collection on: http://membres.lycos.fr/arjan, so I made this chart as a sort of table of contents to the different types of dice shown on that site. Who knew there are so many different types of dice with so many sides! It would be fun to try out board games with these different dices, uh, dies, uh… dice.
| D2 Dice cylinder | |
| D3 Dice Rounded-off triangular prism | |
| D4 Dice pyramidal (also called tetrahedron or tetraeder) This die does not roll well and thus it is usually thrown into the air instead. | |
| D6 Dice cube, cubical, also called hexahedron or hexaeder | |
| D7 Dice Pentagonal prism | |
| D8 Dice octahedron Each face is triangular | |
| D10 Dice di-pyramidal shape (also called decahedron or decaeder or pentagonal trapezohedron) Each face is kite-shaped; | |
| D12 Dice rhombic dodecahedron or dodecaeder Each face is a regular pentagon. | |
| D14 Dice heptagonal dipyramid or cuboctahedron. Each face is in the shape of an isosceles triangle. | |
| D16 Dice octagonal dipyramid Each face is in the shape of an isosceles triangle. | |
| D20 Dice icosohedron or icosaeder | |
| D30 Dice triacontahedron or triacontaeder Each face is in the shape of a rhombus (diamond-shaped). | |
| D32 Dice icosidodecahedron | |
| D34 Dice | |
| D50 Dice | |
| D100 Dice Zocchihedron |

dice!
i don’t think there is a great need for them. Just a way for people to say they could create it.
My gosh, why do need a dice that high up? I mean, it makes good for gambling, guessing a range of number or something, but for a dice or board, I can’t see them being used. >< Nice chart though, gives me an idea of what I’m looking into.
