"Red and White Special d12" Topic

I found two in the FLGS.

The red has the following faces:
2 3 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 6 7 (The 2 is circled)

The white has the following faces:
3 4 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 7 8 (The 3 is circled)

I have never seen these before. From a board game? I'm sure someone can place them.

As for how to use them in game design, perhaps as an Averaging d8 and an Averaging d10?

Thanks,
Robert

Very odd! as pair 5 to 15 but giving 10 with very heavy weighing. No clue what game.

I was intrigued by markings like that I'm sure were on some d12s I saw a while ago. I think they're from a golfing game of some kind. A look at weird d12 dice on eBay might shed some light…

Yep, here's a start:

I've seen other colors. I think the circled numbers are dependent on the dice color.

Thanks Duck. That's the game. GoLo. A golf dice game similar to Yatzee if I understand it from the ad blurbs.

Perhaps the dice is the number of strokes on a hole…Red for Par 4 (Average: 4.5) and White for Par 5 (Average: 5.5)

Perhaps the Blue dice that I'm missing is for a Par 3 hole.

A circle would note an eagle if my extensive golf experience on wikipedia is to be relied on.

EDIT: DyeHard make a good observation about adding the two dice. It would behave a bit like a d20 on a bell curve. Perhaps in a very controlled game where critical hits of '15' and critical failures of '5' were very rare, it could function as a to-hit randomizer.
