What is the biggest die?

All dice are polyhedra (Greek for many-sided), but the D120 is a special variety called disdyakis triacontahedron. It features 120 scalene triangular faces and 62 vertices. That creates the largest number of symmetrical faces possible for an icosahedron and the biggest, most complex fair dice possible.

What is a 100 sided die called?

Zocchihedron

Zocchihedron is the trademark of a 100-sided die invented by Lou Zocchi, which debuted in 1985. Rather than being a polyhedron, it is more like a ball with 100 flattened planes. It is sometimes called “Zocchi’s Golfball”.

What shape is a d100?

The d100 from the standard 7-dice set is a pair of 10-sided dice (in the standard pentagonal trapezohedral shape), one of which is numbered with the integers from 1 to 10 and the other of which has faces numbered in multiples of 10 (00, 10, 20, 30 and so on to 90).

How do you play dice game 30?

The player takes the 6 dice and rolls them with the objective of getting a total of 30 or more showing on the dice. After each roll the player must set aside one or more dice. The player’s turn continues until all 6 dice have been set aside, and then the face value is added up to determine the total for that player.

How is a D20 laid out?

In the standard d20 numbering, small and large numbers are distributed more-or-less evenly over the die, with the following vertex sums: 39, 47, 49, 51, 52, 52, 53, 53, 54, 56, 58, and 66. Using computer search techniques, we’ve managed to find a numbering with ideally-balanced vertex sum.

Are d20s balanced?

The polyhedra traditionally used for the d20 and d30 are such polyhedra. Perfect physical balancing is still not possible, though, due to physical differences in numbers, small inaccuracies in molds, additional inaccuracies introduced during tumbling, and density variations due to defects like voids.

Is a d100 fair?

They are not fair, they cannot be made fair, and they do not produce the same probabilities as rolling 2d10. A d10 is a pentagonal trapezohedron, which is a symmetrical fair die. Even an imperfect d10 is far more fair than a d100 can be, due to the limits of design.

Does a d5 exist?

Ten-sided d5 Die
A ten-sided die numbered 1-5 twice. This design gets around the problem that there are no fully symmetrical five-sided polyhedra. These dice are about the same size as typical d10s in poly sets, measuring 15 mm face to face. We currently stock black, white, red, green, and blue.

How is 30 seconds played?

The game is played with two or more teams of at least two players. Each round one player picks a card and has 30 seconds to describe the five objects, people or places written on the card without revealing the card or saying any part of the name.

Why do dice add up to 7?

For the six-sided die, opposite faces are arranged to always sum to seven. This gives two possible mirror image arrangements in which the numbers 1, 2, and 3 may be arranged in a clockwise or counterclockwise order about a corner. Commercial dice may, in fact, have either orientation.

Is a Spindown a d20?

If your GM or DM doesn’t allow spindown dice in their tabletop roleplaying game, then that’s the rule, and you should stick to it without protest. However, it may be the case that the standard d20 they would rather you use isn’t much better than a spindown dice.

Are precision dice worth it?

Precision dice have a few other advantages over standard dice. The flush surface of the die tends to reduce sliding and last-second flipping. In other words, once it lands in a tray, a precision die tends to come to a rest quicker than a die with indented pips.
