"Unusual D6 numbering" Topic

Besides a regular D6 (1,2,3,4,5,6) and the average dice (2,3,3,4,4,5), what other unusual distribution of numbers on a 6 sided dice have you seen? (Not including themed dice where the 1 or 6 is replaced by a picture or logo)

too many, I have collected lots and lots of weird dice.

check out transitive dice sets, I have some of those…

I have a set of dice to simulate different weapons adds in games for quick and dirty rpg systems, very complicated to explain but for example one dice is numbered 1,3,4,5,6,7
and the other dice is numbered 0,2,4,5,7,8.

I have sets with hi and lo pairs, and dice with varying shield and skull numbers so two shields and one skull on one face and three / two split on another

Flames ofr War has lots of "strange" D6, like the Aircraft Availability dice, and the Panzer Aces dice.

Backgammon doubling dice: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64

Koplow makes lots of Math dice:
0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10
0-5
7-12
13-18
19-24
25-30
(-1) – (-6)
-1; 2; -3; 4; -5; 6
1; -2; 3; -4; 5; -6

FUDGE dice: (+) (+) (blank) (blank) (-) (-)

I have a number that are blank on all sides.

As mentioned I have seen a number of specialty dice. Even in some of the mainstream family board games. i have seen one which was a financial game that had (red die with white numbers) 25%, 25%, 50%, 50%, 0%, 75%

Can't remember the game, but:
2, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0

Opposed die rolls and you wanted to get 1 more than the other guy.

Pi, e, c, i, k and x

Yummm, Pie.

1, 1, 2, 5, 6, 6

I think they're called Extreme Dice and they were distributed at Salute a few years back. Quite fun if you fancy taking a risk!

My dice in last night's game – 1,1,1,1,1,1 and 1

I had a football game from the 60/70's with D6 to generate the match scores, 0,0,1,1,2,3 and similar.

Pi, e, c, i, k and x

I know the first four but not k and x.

1, 1, 2, 5, 6, 6

I think they're called Extreme Dice

Hmm, I have some blank D6s here I just make use those numbers!

Arrgh… Must… ignore posts.. about weird dice. Help, I need an intervention! I've got a sixty liter backpack holding over three and a half decades of accumulated dice all sorts. I like seeing these posts, but it gives me these urges…..

Or just check the Chessex website for their specialty dice:

I have a set of dice which never rolls what I need…
But I think we ALL have a set like that!

The football dice kroesus2 refers to were from "Wembley" (1960s) – I seem to remember that there were different dice depending on which league the club was in ….

John, thats how I remember it, they were different colours for each league, each with a different range of numeric values.

I don't remember where I got them.

Sicherman Dice

I've got 1,2,2,3,3,3. No idea where I got it from.

I think that's from Paydirt; the AH NFL boardgame

I've got 1,1,1,2,2,3….but it was from a stationers and was meant to be a normal D6.

I've also got 1,1,2,2,3,3 (infantry retreat dice for Impetus)

I'd like 1,3,6,10,15,21 as it's my favourite number sequence…..you mean you haven't got a favourite number sequence?

Space Crusade has white and red dice

White: 0,0,0,0,1,2
Red: 0,0,0,1,2,3
