Dice are small, typically cube-shaped objects used in various games to generate random numbers. Each of the six faces of a standard die displays a different number of dots, ranging from one to six. Players roll the dice to determine outcomes, making them a popular tool in board games, role-playing games, and gambling. Dice come in various shapes and sizes, including polyhedral dice used in tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons. They can be made from different materials, such as plastic, wood, or metal, and are often used in games to add an element of chance and excitement.
