Dice (plural of die) are two objects, marked with numbers, or figures that are of quantity to the number of faces represented in the object. Often they are used to generate random values in either gameplay or decision determination.
Typical dice are shaped like cubes, with six faces. Other dice are the four-sided tetrahedron, the eight-sided octahedron, the twelve-sided pentagondodecahedron and the rhombic dodeahedron, the 20-sided icosahedron, the 24-sided Tetrakis hexahedron and the 30-sided rhombic triacontahedron. Furthermore there exist die in prisms, bipyramids, antiprisms, balls and tops.
