A die (plural: dice) is a small, typically cube-shaped object used in games to generate random numbers. Each of the six faces of a standard die is marked with a different number of dots, ranging from one to six. Players roll the die to determine outcomes, such as movement in board games or results in tabletop role-playing games. Dice come in various shapes and sizes, with some games using multiple dice or specialized dice with more than six sides, like Dungeons & Dragons dice. They are made from materials like plastic, wood, or metal and are essential tools in many games, adding an element of chance and excitement.
