What is the term for dice that are popular in many commerical game set, where the 6 sides are:
3 of one symbol, color, etc
2 of a different
1 also different
? So you have:
3/6 chance for one value,
2/6 chance for second value,
1/6 chance for third value. I have seen these in a number of games recently, including the simple "Toss-Up!" dice game. much thanks! |

Weren't these type of dice referred to as "Averaging Dice" back in the 80s and 90s? I seem to recall such die being required in some of the early versions of WRG Ancients Rules as well as some other various rule sets back in the day. |

In early WRG rules – if I remember right, regular troops threw Average dice (2,3,3,4,4,5). |

I don't know of a term for them. And yes, die Herkybird describes is the so-called "average die" (dice, whatever). |
