I just read the latest "Penny Arcade" webcomic strip and it uses the phrase "jack dice," in the sentence, "He claims that he did save but you called "Jack Dice."
penny-arcade.com/comic My pitiful Google skills have turned up nothing relevant. Can anyone tell me what the term means? |

Cocked. Wonkerjawed. Tilted. Not flat. Just guessing. Some people are picky about how the dice fall. |

We called them "cockers" but it's the same thing… |

I tend to call them a word synonymous with 'cock'. |

Thanks for the answers. I am somewhat relieved to find that it is not another kind of dice that I would "just have to have." |
